TAMPA — The man whose cardiac arrest set off a four-vehicle accident on Nebraska Avenue died Wednesday, according to University Community Hospital.
James C. Weaver, 63, of Tampa was preparing to turn right onto Fletcher Avenue from southbound Nebraska Avenue just after 3 p.m. Monday when he went into cardiac arrest, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Weaver's 2008 Ford F-250 hit the back of a vehicle and caused a chain reaction of rear-end crashes.
Weaver was taken to the hospital in serious condition and later died of cardiac arrest, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Another driver involved in the crash and his passenger were taken to St. Joseph's Hospital with minor injuries, troopers said. No one else was hospitalized.
