HAINES CITY, Fla. — One person is dead after a two-vehicle crash in Haines City early Saturday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said.

A passenger in the Nissan, a 50-year-old Haines City man, died from injuries suffered during the crash after being transported to a local hospital.

The Nissan driver, a 35-year-old Haines City man, and the Honda driver, a 29-year-old Haines City man, suffered minor injuries due to the crash.
