Madison County, FL (October 20, 2019) - One person is dead and two others injured following a crash that took place in Madison County on Friday, October 18th. The crash was reported around 8:20 p.m. in the westbound lanes of I-10, near mile marker 240.
The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the crash scene. According to investigators, a 24-year-old woman was driving a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer westbound. As she approached a curve, she failed to properly navigate the turn and lost control of her vehicle. As the car veered into the median it overturned and crashed into a tree. A 19-year-old passenger, Stephan Habinowski, was killed in the crash. Another 19-year-old, as well as an 18-year-old passenger, sustained serious injuries. The driver suffered minor injuries.
FHP is still investigating and charges are pending at this time.
