A Zephyrhills woman was killed in a car crash Tuesday afternoon in Pasco County.
Deanna M. Bahler, 52, of Zephyrhills was driving a 2003 Honda Accord westbound on Horton Road approaching U.S. 41 while James W. Moore, 34, of Spring Hill was driving a commercial truck northbound approaching U.S. 41, according to a Florida Highway Patrol accident report. Bahler entered the intersection and drove into in the path of Moore’s truck, causing the two vehicles to collide, the report stated.
Two passengers, 24-year-old Alan G. Schemitsch of Lutz and 21-year-old Giselle K. Oquendo of Tampa, were in Bahler’s vehicle at the time of the crash and were seriously injured. Both passengers were not wearing seatbelts.
Bahler died at the scene of the accident.
