Indiantown, FL - Jorge Enrique Avila Killed in Monday Crash

By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post

Indian River, FL (December 18, 2018) - A 50-year-old man died in a fiery crash in Martin County on Sunday, December 15th.  

According to Florida Highway Patrol, Jorge Enrique Avila was traveling with his wife Zoila Ventura, 48, on Warfield Boulevard.  That is when a 2000 Ford F-150 driven by Jennifer Shripka, 36, began driving eastbound in the westbound lanes.  Shripka's truck then struck Avila's 1998 Ford sedan head-on.  Avila's car burst income flames.  He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Avila was remembered as a good father and a caring man.  He leaves behind his wife and a seven-year-old daughter.  Police have released few other details and the crash remains under investigation.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of Jorge Enrique Avila.  Sadly, fatal crashes happen each day in Florida and occur approximately once every three hours.  Although no one believes that they can be involved in a serious or life-changing car accident, the fact is that they do happen far more often than any of us would like
