Ellenton, FL (August 27, 2018) - A woman was killed following a head-on collision in Ellenton.
The crash happened Saturday afternoon around 4:35 pm. The woman, identified as Helen Gail Miller, was traveling west on U.S. 301, near the intersection with 51st Avenue. At the same time, a man was driving a Chevrolet Suburban South on 51st approaching the intersection with U.S. 301. The vehicles came to the intersection simultaneously.
Both vehicles entered the intersection, causing a collision between the left side of Miller's vehicle and the Suburban. Miller suffered critical injuries and was transported to Manatee Hospital where she was later pronounced dead. The Suburban driver and its occupants were not hurt.
Authorities are still investigating the crash and are looking at the traffic signals at the intersection for clues as to how the crash occurred. No other information is available at this time.
Our thoughts are with the family of Helen Miller in this tragic crash. Sadly, a person dies approximately every three hours in Florida car accidents.
When a fatal car accident occurs, the surviving family members are left to deal with the tragedy. In the aftermath of the fatal crash, it is important to determine whether the law provides a remedy.
In Florida, the surviving family members of a person killed in a crash may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim. Wrongful death claims arise when a person is killed due to someone else's negligence. Due to the complexity of these claims, it is recommended to consult with an experienced Florida wrongful death attorney before taking any action.
