Melbourne Beach, FL (December 14, 2018) - One person was killed and two others suffered serious injuries in a tragic crash on State Road A1A. The accident took place on Friday, December 14th, just before 3:00 am.
The crash took place near Sabal Ridge Lane. The Florida Highway Patrol was called to the scene to investigate. When troopers arrived, they learned that 19-year-old Kyah Muntz was traveling southbound in the northbound lanes of SR A1A. As he was driving the wrong way, Muntz struck another vehicle. The driver and a passenger of the second vehicle sustained serious injuries. Another passenger, a 23-year-old woman from Orlando, was killed. She has not been identified at this time.
Charges against Muntz are pending and troopers believe that alcohol may have played a role in the crash.
