By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post

Pasco County, FL (October 24, 2018) - One person was killed and another hurt in a crash that occurred along County Road 583 on Monday, October 22nd.

Authorities say that 51-year-old Scott Edward Butterfield of Land O'Lakes was traveling on CR 583 near Horton Road when he lost control of his truck.  The truck veered off the roadway and struck a utility pole.  Butterfield, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the crash scene.  

Butterfield's passenger, 68-year-old Jody Rae Brannon, suffered serious injuries in the collision.  Brannon was transported to Regional Medical Center and Bayonet Point where she was listed in serious condition.  Police have not said whether Brannon was wearing a seatbelt when the crash occurred.  

In 2017, over 250,000 people were injured in Florida car accidents.  Accidents occur for a variety of reasons but most are related to some sort of human or mechanical error.  In cases where one driver is hurt due to another's negligence, the law provides the injured victims with a remedy.  Innocent accident victims can seek to recover money for pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages.
