An accident that happened last night at the International Golf Parkway killed a passenger and left a driver in critical condition. The vehicle was traveling east on SR 16 and attempted to make a left turn. The vehicle then entered the pathway of another vehicle. The vehicle crashed into the passenger side.
The second vehicle’s passenger, 38-year-old Melanie Padgett, was transported to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead at the scene. 39-year-old Leslie Blodgett, a driver, was in serious condition but is receiving treatment at a hospital.
The 18-year-old driver of the other vehicle sustained only minor injuries. Police are still investigating to determine what caused the accident.
