LAKELAND, Fla. — The Polk County Sheriff's Office says a Tuesday crash involving two cars and a semi at a Lakeland intersection had the roadway shut down for several hours.
Deputies say James Reynolds, 63, drove through a stoplight at the intersection of County Line Road and Ewell Road and was hit by a semi that had a green light.
The impact of the crash sent Reynolds' pickup into a car that was stopped in the turn lane of the intersection. Reynolds died at the scene according to investigators.
A 71-year-old woman and a 91-year-old man who were in the other car had minor injuries, deputies say.
Investigators say the crash had the roadway closed for about four hours.
