SEBRING, FL, -- A two-car crash Friday at 2:44 p.m. left one dead in Highlands County on U.S. 27.
A 1998 Corvette driven by James D. Howard, 66 of Sebring was traveling north bound on US27 in the inside lane as a 2006 Lincoln Town Car driven by Victoria W. Grant 61 of Sebring attempted to travel west, crossing the north bound lanes of US 27 from the stop sign at the intersection of Whisper Cir. in front of the Corvette.
