A Palm Harbor man was killed early Friday morning when he ran a red light and crashed in to a semi-trailer in Oldsmar, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers say Mekhaeil Tawedrous, 43, was driving a 2007 Toyota van westbound on W Hillsborough Avenue just after 2 a.m. when he ran the red light and crashed into an eastbound semi-trailer as it was turning northbound onto Race Track Road.
Tawedrous died at the scene, troopers say.
The driver of the semi-trailer, 40-year-old Luis Selier-Dominguez, was not injured, troopers say.
Alcohol was not a factor in the crash, troopers say.
The crash closed westbound lanes early Friday morning, troopers say.
