An arrest has been made for a woman from Plant City who was involved in a DUI accident in Hillsborough County that hurt a woman from Zephyrhills.
Following a collision that occurred on State Road 39 in the early hours of Christmas morning, a woman from Plant City was taken into custody for driving under the influence of alcohol and driving without a valid license, as reported by the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
It was roughly 2:30 in the morning on December 25, 2024 when the collision took place. Plant City resident Flor Tulia Perez Roblero, 45, was at the wheel of a Dodge Grand Caravan that was heading southbound on State Route 39 during the northbound lanes of the highway.
When the lane changed into a split highway north of Knights Griffin Road, Perez Roblero failed to stay to the right and collided with a Kia Sorento driven by a woman from Zephyrhills who was 68 years old. The collision was virtually head-on.
Both drivers experienced injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening and were sent to hospitals in the surrounding area for treatment.
