Community mourns loss of Flagler County deputy administrator and wife in I-4 accident

The Flagler County community recently joined together to pay tribute to Deputy County Administrator Jorge Salinas and his wife, Nancy, who tragically lost their lives in a fatal accident earlier this month. The couple was involved in a chain-reaction crash on Interstate 4 near DeBary Road in Volusia County on the evening of Oct. 4. The driver responsible for the crash, believed to be in a 2025 Dodge Durango, fled the scene. Family, friends, and colleagues gathered for a memorial service to honor the couple’s legacy of love, faith, and dedication to public service. Their children, Kalin and Matthew Salinas, emphasized the importance of supporting each other and making decisions in line with their parents' beliefs. Marketed by humility and devotion to helping others, Jorge was known for his commitment to lifting others up rather than seeking recognition. Nancy was remembered for her strong family ties and her love for Disney. Matthew expressed gratitude for the overwhelming community support, which attested to the deep affection felt for his parents. While investigations continue to locate the Dodge Durango driver, community members are committed to standing by the Salinas family as they pursue justice and healing.
