According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 34-year-old Paul V. Free was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer westbound on Railroad Street when he lost control of the vehicle and, for unknown reasons, ran off the roadway. The SUV overturned and came to rest on its roof. Heather L. Bilodeau of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts was a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the rollover. She suffered critical injuries and was pronounced dead from the crash. Two other passengers were also in the vehicle. 27-year-old Patrick J.
