The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is investigating a head-on collision that left one individual deceased in Odessa.
On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, at approximately 11:45 p.m., HCSO deputies were dispatched to the 16000 block of Hutchinson Road in response to a traffic crash with injuries. Upon arrival, deputies located an unresponsive male and, through preliminary investigation, determined the deceased, Dustin Vanschaick, 38, was struck by a 2022 Honda Civic. The occupants of the Honda were transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
At this time, detectives believe the Honda was traveling northbound on Hutchinson Road at a high rate of speed when it veered into the southbound lane, resulting in a head-on collision with the motorcyclist.
The investigation is ongoing, and charges are pending its outcome. Any update will be released from the Public Affairs Office.
