SR-29, FL (July 24, 2018) – A 17-year-old Labelle teen lost his life in a reckless driving accident after he was thrown from a vehicle that rolled over on State Road 29 this past week. He received severe injuries and lost his life days later.
A 16-year-old girl was driving her Mercedes at high speeds south on the roadway around 3:15 p.m. The Florida Highway Patrol investigated the accident.
Apparently, the 16-year-old lost control of the vehicle, drove off the roadway into the grassy shoulder, struck a wooden sign, and then hit a fire hydrant. This is how the vehicle flipped over.
17-year-old Ariel Casuso was thrown from the car, according to police. He was taken to the Lee Memorial Hospital and later died from injuries. Casuso was a passenger in the vehicle.
The driver, whose name has not been released, was taken to the Naples Community Hospital with only minor injuries. Now, she is facing charges of reckless driving and driving without a driver’s license.
In Florida, there is a reportable auto accident every 92 seconds. There are about 400,000 car accidents in the Sunshine state every year, some of which lead to serious injuries and others that lead to fatalities.
