Orlando, FL (June 24, 2020) - One person was killed and another was seriously hurt in a crash in Orlando on Wednesday. The crash occurred around 2:00 a.m. on Colonial Drive near Avalon Park Boulevard.
According to reports, a sedan was traveling eastbound on Colonial when the driver left their lane of travel and crashed head-on with a pickup truck. The pickup truck veered onto the shoulder of the roadway before overturning. The pickup driver was ejected in the crash and later succumbed to their injuries. He has been identified only as a 22-year-old from Chulutoa. The sedan driver, a 26-year-old Palm Bay resident, was hospitalized with serious injuries.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash at this time and no further information is available.
Florida's streets and highway can be a very dangerous place for the average motorist. Last year, more than 400,00 reportable car accidents took place in our state. Many of these crashes involved death and serious injury. Further, many victims are injured or killed through no fault of their own when they come into contact with a negligent driver. This crash illustrates how an innocent victim can be involved in a dangerous Florida car accident in a matter of seconds.
