By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post
Inverness, FL (December 25, 2019) - Three people were killed in a wrong-way crash in Inverness on Monday, December 24th. The crash happened on South Pleasant Grove Road near East Amy Lane
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 53-year-old Phillip Sawhill of Land 'o Lakes was traveling northbound on Pleasant Grove when he attempted to pass a vehicle in a no-passing zone. As Sawhill passed the vehicle, he collided head-on with a Kia traveling in the opposite direction. Sawhill's Camry caught fire after the collision. The driver of the Kia, along with two passengers, were pronounced dead at the scene. The victims have been identified as 62-year-old Amalia Gomara, 86-year-old Clara Gorrin, and 85-year-old Nilda Cordovi. Sawhill suffered serious injuries.
Troopers are still investigating the crash. There is no word on whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the collision.
We wish to extend our sympathies to those who have been affected by this tragic collision in Inverness. More than 3,000 people lose their lives annually in Florida traffic accidents. Head-on crashes commonly result in serious injuries and death for victims. In this case, it appears as though the negligent driving of Phillip Sawhill led to the unfortunate deaths of three innocent motorists.
