In the wake of recent reports that Florida's highways rank among the Nation's most dangerous, two women were tragically killed this week in a car accident on Interstate 75. Amber Chambers, 20, was driving her sister Emily, 18, to a house in Ruskin around 7:00 p.m. Sunday night when Chambers suddenly slowed her Nissan Stanza causing a Schneider National tractor trailer to slam into the car killing both women instantly. Three tourists from Scotland were also injured when a Penske truck that had swerved to avoid hitting Chambers' Nissan struck the tourists' Chevrolet Camaro.
