One person lost his life in a crash that happened in Taylor County. Every year, people die in Florida accidents across the state. In fact, car accidents are one of the leading causes of death in Florida each year, with many reasons being cited, from distracted driving to drunk driving. In 2013 alone, over 2,400 people lost their lives in catastrophic events that sometimes could have been prevented.
One person was killed in a Taylor County fatal crash that took place yesterday afternoon. Only one person was injured or killed in the incident and no other parties were hurt. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the driver was identified as 28-year-old Stephen Davis.
Davis was driving on Fish Creek Road close to West Ford Road around 2:00 p.m. when he was involved in an accident, lost control of his Volvo, and overturned his vehicle. Police claim that he was fully ejected from the vehicle when it rolled over. He flew out of the driver’s side window at a high rate of speed.
By the time first responders came to the scene, Davis had died due to his injuries. He was not wearing a seatbelt.
