Florida Crash Kills 6-Year-Old, Police Investigate

0:00A six-year-old girl died after a crash between a family SUV and a temple terrace police cruiser in Florida. It went down on April 15th around 4 p.m. on Fowler Avenue. The woman behind the wheel of the Nissan Pathfinder, carrying three kids, tried a U-turn right into the path of the officer's Ford Explorer. Both cars spun into a ditch. The 36-year-old driver and the 25-year-old officer walked away with injuries that weren't life-threatening. They both got rushed to area hospitals for treatment. Two of the young passengers, a one-year-old girl and an eight-year-old girl, also had non-serious injuries and ended up in the hospital. Tragically, the six-year-old didn't survive her wounds. Temple terrace police shared their deepest condolences to the family and an official statement, calling it a tough time for everyone involved. Florida highway patrol stepped in for an independent probe, and as details emerge, the community holds its breath for answers on how this unfolded.
