Fort Myers, FL (May 18, 2019) - A 60-year-old man from Fort Myers was killed after his vehicle was struck by a wrong-way driver on Friday, May 17th. The accident happened on State Road 62 around 2:45 pm.
Police say that 60-year-old Jose Corbina was a passenger in a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado that was traveling eastbound on SR 62. Suddenly, a 2011 Toyota Camry traveling the opposite direction veered into Corbina's lane. The Silverado was driven by a 22-year-old Lazaro Vazquez. The driver of the Camry, a 21-year-old Lakeland resident, collided with the Silverado. The Camry flipped over following impact while the Silverado traveled onto the shoulder of the roadway. Both cars burst into flames.
Corbina died at the scene. The Camry driver was critically hurt and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Vazquez sustained only minor injuries. No further details are available at this time.
