According to an HCSO posting, at around 7 a.m. on Feb. 3, deputies responded to the scene of a hit-and-run collision on the 6600 block of Freeport Drive in Spring Hill, where a man, later identified as 30-year-old Tyler Lane, crashed his vehicle into a light pole and another pair of unoccupied vehicles.
