Around 10:20 am, police were called to the scene at the intersection of US 41 near Harbor Boulevard. The road remained closed until around 1:30 while officers worked at the scene. Authorities report that three vehicles were stopped on US 41 when Ford Explorer came along and crashed into each of the vehicles, causing them all to collide with one another. One of the vehicles left the scene following the crash.
91-year-old Alyce Boese was a passenger in a van that was struck by the Explorer. Boese suffered critical injuries and later passed away at a nearby hospital. The driver of the Ford Explorer and one other person were transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation. Florida Highway Patrol says that charges are pending.
We are saddened to hear of this fatal and tragic accident. At this time, our thoughts are with the family and friends of Alyce Boese.
In Florida, a fatal crash takes place approximately every 3 hours. Fatal crashes usually involve some form of driver error, whether it be impairment, drowsiness, distraction, or reckless driving. In this case, it is not clear exactly what caused the collision. When police charge the responsible driver, we will know more about the exact cause of the accident.
