Flagler County, FL (January 27, 2020) - A crash involving four vehicles left one person dead in Flagler County. The crash took place on Sunday, January 26th around 2:40 p.m.

Authorities responded to the northbound lanes of I-95 near the Palm Coast Parkway in reference to the collision. According to investigators, a Dodge Ram rear-ended a Chevy Malibu. The Malibu was then propelled forwarded and collided with two other cars in a chain-reaction style collision. A passenger in the Malibu, Melody Roberts, died at the crash scene. The Malibu driver, who has not been identified, was rushed to the hospital with critical injuries. The driver of the third vehicle, a Ford Fusion, suffered minor injuries. No one else was hurt in the crash.

Charges are pending against the pickup truck driver at this time. 

Florida is one of the most dangerous and deadly states in the nation for motorists. With over 3,000 deaths annually, drivers must ensure that they are driving in a safe and reasonable manner at all times. Unfortunately, not all fatal crashes can be prevented and innocent victims often are killed or injured due to the negligence of another motorist. The family of a loved one who was killed in a crash may have the right to bring a claim for wrongful death under Florida law.  

Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family of Melody Roberts during this difficult time.
