Putnam County, FL (March 15, 2019) - A head-on crash has claimed the life of three men along State Road 100. The crash occurred on Wednesday, March 13th, around 12:30 p.m.

Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol report that a Chevrolet flatbed truck hauling cabbage was traveling eastbound on SR-100. Suddenly, the truck driver lost control, causing the truck to veer into the westbound lanes. While in the westbound lanes, the truck collided head-on with a semi-truck. Three occupants of the flatbed truck were killed in the crash. The victims have been identified as Lloyd Douglas, 61, Benjamin Nelson, 50, and the driver, Haymon Boynton, 65.

The semi-truck driver, 30-year-old Isaias Chaluisant, was airlifted to Orange Park Medical Center in critical condition. Police initially said that a tire blow out caused the flatbed truck to travel into the wrong lane.  Later, troopers reported that the official cause of the crash is yet to be determined, pending final investigation.
