HUDSON A two-car crash killed two Sunday night in Hudson, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Both vehicles overturned and struck a light pole, officials say. Ewing and a passenger, 47-year-old Vincent P. Dicristo of Port Richey, died at the scene.

Friedman was admitted to Bayonet Point Hospital with serious injuries.

The accident remains under investigation by the FHP.
