Zephyrhills woman, 20, killed in traffic crash

A Zephyrhills woman was killed Thursday night after a car crash on County Line Road in Pasco County, Florida Highway Patrol troopers report.

The 20-year-old woman was driving west on the road when, just east of Solitude Drive, the car “lost traction on the wet roadway” and began to rotate. The car hit a curb, overturned and hit a tree. The woman died at the scene, troopers said.

Troopers said the woman was driving at a “high rate of speed” when the crash occurred at about 9:45 p.m.

The highway patrol did not release the woman’s name due to the department’s interpretation of Marsy’s Law, a voter-approved amendment to Florida’s constitution that’s meant to protect crime victims but deprives the public of information that had long been available under the state’s public records laws.
