The Tarpon Springs Police Department has released more information in a fatal crash that occurred on Sunday afternoon along U.S. 19 and Beckett Way.
According to the police department, the wreck occurred just before 3:30 p.m. when a vehicle slammed into a traffic control post and burst into flames.

The woman, police said, was taken to Bayonet Hospital where she later died. The man died at the scene.
Police have identified the two victims as Pamela Guthrie, 33, of New Port Richey, and Justin Dewar, 33 of Port Richey.
