The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the crash scene. According to troopers, a 59-year old woman from Palatka was traveling westbound on SR 100 when she lost control of her vehicle, causing it to swerve off the roadway and strike a guardrail. The car then traveled back onto the roadway and collided head-on with a second car. A third vehicle collided with the back of the second vehicle following the head-on crash. 

A 47-year-old man driving the second vehicle was killed in the crash with a 46-year-old female passenger in the same vehicle who suffered serious injuries. The 59-year-old driver of the first vehicle also sustained serious injuries. Two others sustained only minor injuries as a result of the crash.
