DADE CITY, Fla. (AP) – Three people are dead following a Tampa Bay area head-on collision.

The Florida Highway Patrol reports that 86-year-old Beaudoin Oredore, of East Windsor, Connecticut, was driving south in a Buick Enclave on U.S. 301 in Pasco County Tuesday just before noon, when he lost control and went over a grass median into oncoming traffic. The Enclave hit a Ford Explorer, leaving Oredore and his passenger, 72-year-old Nannie Sue Couch, of Flint, Michigan, dead at the scene.

The 74-year-old man and 72-year-old woman, both from Brooksville, who had been in the Explorer were rushed to area hospitals. The woman later died, while the man was left in critical condition.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused Oredore to lose control of his vehicle.
