West Palm Beach, FL (August 27, 2018) - A woman was killed in an accident early Sunday morning near Okeechobee Boulevard and Vista Parkway. According to police, 32 year old Alexis George was a passenger in a Mitsubishi driven by 33 year old Jordan Wilson. For unknown reasons, Wilson's car went over the shoulder and crashed into a sign pole.
George died in the crash while Wilson suffered injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. There is no word on his condition at this time. Although the exact cause of the crash is not known, deputies are considering whether Wilson was impaired at the time of the crash.
Both victims had to be extricated from the vehicle by firefighters.
There are no further details available at this time.
We are saddened to hear of this tragic crash in West Palm Beach.
At this time, it appears as though police are focusing on possible impairment as a cause of this crash. In 2016, over 5,000 alcohol-related crashes were reported in Florida. Over 400 of those crashes were fatal.
The dangers of drinking and driving are well-documented. Riding as a passenger in a vehicle with a drunk driver carries the same risk as driving while impaired.
