Hendry County, FL (June 13, 2019) - A 52-year-old man is in critical condition following a serious crash on US-27. The crash took place around 7:00 a.m. near the intersection with Farm Drake Road.
According to initial reports, a Bruce Newton was driving southbound on US-27 when a Freightliner truck traveling next to him began swerving into his lane.

Newton was seriously hurt and was airlifted to Lee Memorial Hospital in critical condition. His passenger, Linda Newton, was seriously hurt and was also taken to Lee Memorial Hospital in critical but stable condition.
