JASPER, FL – A 26-year-old adult driving a white Dodge pickup truck crashed head-on into an Isuzu box truck, claiming the lives of both drivers Wednesday.
Florida Highway Patrol told WCTV that the collision, reported around 6 a.m., happened when the 26-year-old adult drifted from State Road 6 east into the westbound lanes and struck the box truck. The impact caused the box truck to flip over and come to rest in a ditch off the road.
The 26-year-old adult, a Jasper local, and the box truck driver, a 24-year-old adult from Valdosta, succumbed to fatal wounds at the scene.
Florida Highway Patrol started an investigation and confirmed that both motorists did not wear seatbelts. Troopers did not confirm the victims’ genders nor reveal the contributing factors behind this serious wreck.
