CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) — A 19-year-old was killed in a head-on collision with a wrong-way driver Sunday morning on US-19.

The 19-year-old Crystal River man died in the crash. The 66-year-old man suffered critical injuries.

Shortly following the crash, a 53-year-old Crystal River woman collided head-on with the 19-year-old’s truck, because she could not see the wreck in the dark.
