A fatal head‑on collision on Eiland Boulevard in Zephyrhills early Saturday morning left two people dead, including a 4‑year‑old child, and caused serious injuries to others. The crash involved a Nissan Altima driven by a 30‑year‑old Dade City man and a Hyundai Santa Fe driven by a 43‑year‑old Zephyrhills man, both traveling opposite directions on the same road. At approximately 4:37 a.m., the Nissan deviated into the southbound lane and struck the Hyundai, causing both vehicles to spin and come to rest on the shoulders. A 4‑year‑old boy from Dade City died in the Nissan, while a 40‑year‑old woman from Zephyrhills died in the Hyundai. Other passengers sustained non‑life‑threatening injuries and were taken to hospitals. Details on why the Nissan entered the wrong lane remain unknown, and investigators are continuing their work.
