Deltona, FL (January 22, 2020) - A FedEx driver died in a crash that took place on Wednesday, January 22nd in Deltona. The crash was reported around 4:15 a.m. in the westbound lanes of Interstate 4.
According to reports, 52-year-old Andre Haber was driving a FedEx semi-truck when he pulled into the right emergency lane and exited the truck. At the same time, 21-year-old Travis Hutto was driving a 2007 Dodge pickup. For unknown reasons, Hutto began drifting into the emergency lane and struck Haber as well as the truck. Haber was pushed underneath the semi. He was pronounced dead at the scene. There is no word on whether Hutto was injured.
An investigation is ongoing and charges are pending against Hutto at this time.
Fatal accidents occur, on average, eight times per day in Florida. Deadly accidents can take place anywhere at any time. Drivers who exit their vehicles are vulnerable to being involved in serious crashes, especially when they are along the shoulder of the highway. Unfortunately, inattentive or distracted drivers are responsible for many serious accidents across our state.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to the friends and family of Andre Haber.
