Fatal crash in Lake County as car becomes airborne and hits tree: FHP
A tragic incident occurred in Lake County on Friday night when a car veered off the road, went airborne, and collided with a tree, as reported by Florida Highway Patrol (FHP). Regrettably, the driver, a 28-year-old man from Belleview, lost his life after being ejected from the vehicle without wearing a seatbelt, while the passenger, a 29-year-old man from Crestview, sustained severe injuries despite wearing his seatbelt and was rushed to the hospital. The exact cause of the crash and the length of time the passenger was stranded in the car before help arrived are still unclear and being investigated by authorities. Local residents and officials worked together to respond to the situation, with one resident spotting vehicle debris on her property and alerting emergency services, leading to the passenger being discovered and airlifted for medical treatment. The injured man's father shared that his son has suffered neck and back injuries and is undergoing surgery. The crash, which was described as occurring in a rural area by eyewitnesses, is currently a developing story under investigation. Stay tuned for further updates.
