Hernando County, FL (December 21, 2018) - A head-on collision on State Road 589 resulted in injuries to three people. The crash happened on Thursday, December 20th.
The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the accident scene just before 10:00 pm. According to reports, 28-year-old Brian Scott Koger was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes of the highway. Koger's Honda Civic collided with a 2007 Ford Explorer driven by 31-year-old Amanda Sokolik. Also in the vehicle was 38-year-old Matthew Sokolik. Both Amanda and Matthew Sokolik were taken to Bayfront Health Brooksville after the crash. They were listed in serious condition.

Koger had been drinking at the time of the crash according to troopers. There is no word at this time on any potential charges.
Approximately 250,000 injury crashes will occur this year in Florida. Head-on crashes will often result in severe and catastrophic injuries for those affected. Many head-on collisions occur due to impairment and consumption of alcohol before driving. In this case, it appears as though alcohol played a role in the wrong-way accident. Our thoughts are with those affected by this serious crash.
