    A Hillsborough County sheriff’s deputy was killed Thursday in a crash in Thonotosassa, authorities said.

    The crash happened shortly before 8 a.m. on U.S. 301 south of McIntosh Road when the deputy, who was driving a Ford F-150, collided with a flatbed tractor-trailer, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

    The driver of the tractor-trailer had injuries that troopers said were not life-threatening.

    The Highway Patrol, which is leading the investigation, does not release the names of people involved in crashes.

    The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s said in a news release that a deputy was killed in the crash. The deputy’s name has not been released.
