Valentine's Day Crash in Webster, Hernando County Sends Three to Hospital

Three people were hospitalized after a collision near the intersection of Richloam Clay Sink Road and State Road 50 in eastern Hernando County on Feb. 14, Hernando County Fire Rescue said. The agency reported crews responded to the scene in Webster just after 8 p.m., and local images of the wreckage were shared by HCFR on social media.

HCFR’s Facebook post carried the headline "HORRIFIC CRASH | Photos from Hernando County Fire Rescue show the results of a crash that sent 3 to the hospital on Valentine's Day." Photos reproduced in local reporting appear to show an SUV with severe front-end damage and a large pickup truck with rear driver’s side damage, consistent with the scene descriptions published alongside the agency images.

WFLA’s Webster dateline coverage noted the same response time and location, saying "HCFR said they responded to the scene just after 8 p.m." WFLA also reported that "Officials did not release many details about the circumstances of the crash, but did say three people were sent to nearby hospitals," and those were the only hospitalization details available in the published accounts.

Available reports and the HCFR photo release did not provide names, ages, the hospitals where the three victims were taken, or the severity of injuries. No law-enforcement statement, investigation lead, or mention of citations or arrests was included in the materials released by HCFR or in the republished WFLA coverage, and no agency was identified as conducting the crash investigation in the information provided.

The incident occurred on State Road 50 (also referred to in some reports as State Route 50), a stretch of roadway that runs across eastern Hernando County; local coverage placed the collision specifically in the Webster area near Richloam Clay Sink Road. Hernando County Fire Rescue remains the primary source of the response details and the photos shared publicly, while WFLA’s reporting provided the local dateline and the timeline of responders arriving just after 8 p.m.

As of the last available reports, officials had not released further information about causes or conditions. The images and the HCFR post are the principal public record of the crash so far; anyone seeking updates should look for additional statements from Hernando County Fire Rescue or from local law enforcement if and when they release a formal crash report.
