Last year, there were approximately 3,000 fatalities attributed to car accidents in our state. This number places Florida among the deadliest states in the nation for crash victims. Unfortunately, many fatal collisions result from the actions of negligent drivers and could be avoided if all drivers used extra care and caution when traveling.
Our condolences are with the family of Julius Shevlin during this difficult time.
