Christina Dempsey Dies In Crash

MOORE HAVEN, FL. -- Christina Dempsey, 33 of Moore Haven died after a crash in Glades county Wednesday at 8:18 p.m.

She was westbound on West State Road 78 nearing the address of 8020 West State Road 78 near Ortona Road and veered across the eastbound lane running off the roadway to the left (south).

Her truck entered the grassy shoulder and continued to travel west as she then over corrected back to the right, then crossed through the westbound and eastbound lanes running off the roadway, then
traveled onto the grassy shoulder and entered a ditch.

Once again she over corrected and the vehicle overturned and came to final rest in a heavily vegetative area on the north shoulder of the roadway.

After the crash, Dempsey exited the vehicle and walked back toward the roadway, entering the westbound lanes of West State Road 78.  Hezekiah Reed, 55 of Fort Myers was traveling westbound on West State Road 78 approaching the initial crash scene. The front right of his truck struck Dempsey in the westbound lanes.

The crash remains under investigation
