TAMPA, Fla — A Hillsborough County deputy is expected to be OK after a crash involving a 74-year-old man, who suffered serious injuries.
It happened around 7:30 a.m. Friday near State Road 60 and Adamo Drive.
A pick-up truck was driving east on SR-60 while a marked Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office unit was going west for a service call.
