Gadsden County, FL (November 18, 2018) - A 42 year old man from Tennessee died in a crash on Interstate 10. The crash happened on Saturday, November 17th around 7:26 pm.
Walter Himes was traveling westbound on I-10 in a Ford F-150. Himes was in the outside travel lane when he approached the scene of an existing vehicle crash. Himes swerved to avoid the crash and lost control of his truck. The truck overturned, trapping Himes inside. Rescue workers pronounced Himes dead at the scene of the accident.
The Florida Highway Patrol investigated the accident. There is no further information available at this time.
A fatal crash occurs approximately every 3 hours in Florida. Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Walter Himes during this very difficult time.
Fatal crashes are caused for a variety of reasons. Many fatal crashes involve more than one vehicle and some form of driver negligence. Other fatal crashes involve single vehicles such as this one. In this case, it appears as though a roadway obstruction was to blame for the accident. Each year, a number of serious and fatal crashes take place due to roadway obstructions, including natural and other objects lying in the roadway. Further investigation will be needed to determine fault in this fatal crash.
