One killed, one hurt in Plant City crash

PLANT CITY — One person was killed and another was critically injured in a crash Sunday evening at State Road 39 and Holloway Road.

Louise B. Porter, 87, of Plant City, was crossing S.R. 39 in a Buick Century about 7:40 p.m. when she failed to yield to an oncoming Kia Sephia driven by 22-year-old Kenneth W. McCullers, also of Plant City, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The two cars collided, and the Buick spun clockwise. The Kia hit a yield sign and overturned. Porter was pronounced dead at the scene. McCullers was taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Center; his condition was not disclosed Monday.
