Alachua, NY (July 13, 2018) – A Live Oak man lost his life in a rear-end accident after other vehicles were stopped in traffic. The incident took place on Thursday afternoon.
The Florida Highway Patrol investigated and found that northbound traffic had been stopped on County Road 235A south on US 441. The accident took place around 3:15 p.m.
27-year-old Joshua Martin was driving along when he suddenly rear-ended Eric Milton, who was stopped in traffic. Martin did not know this at the time. Martin was quickly taken to UF health Shands Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
Milton was not injured in the accident.
At this time, FHP is trying to determine if Martin was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the accident. They are still investigating.
