MOORE HAVEN, FL -- On Monday at 12:45 p.m., a vehicle driver age 21 from Okeechobee was southbound on State Road 78. as a 54 year old man from Zephyrhills, working construction and operating a "ride on" equipment used to heat and apply roadway reflectors, was partially in the southbound lane of State Road 78.
The vehicle struck pedestrian and the "ride on" equipment he was working with, then struck the east guardrail and came to rest in the paved apron of State Road 78. Pedestrian was pronounced deceased on scene.
The crash remains under investigation. (Note: The FHP no longer provides names in order to protect a crime victim's identity.)
I was told her was not partially in the southbound land. This article is not accurate.
ReplyDeleteThe descriptions and crash details come directly from the Florida Highway Patrol report.
DeleteHow did you get the details from the report if they aren't released for 10 days?
DeleteNews publishers receive the FHP summary reports the same day.
DeleteEven if FHP did a report they were not there. The workers who worked with the man who was killed gave statements saying he was working within the propers zone safely. The driver who merged into his lane was completely at fault this article is completely false.
