AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS EMPHASIZE SEATBELT USE

After losing control of his SUV on I-95, a Florida man was ejected from his vehicle and critically injured. The driver was not wearing his seat belt.

Driving north on I-95 near Scottsmoor, the man drove his 1994 Nissan Pathfinder onto the median. It rolled over and he was thrown from the vehicle. He was taken to the Holmes Region Medical Center.

Not only was the man not wearing his seat belt, but he had received a citation for not wearing a seat belt earlier that same day. The ticket had been issued as part of the "Click It or Ticket" National Campaign.

Women killed in single car accident

One woman was injured and another killed in a single-vehicle accident near Ormond Beach.

The driver was traveling west in a Ford pickup truck on State Road 40 from Chesser Hammock Road when she suddenly veered from the center of the lane and over corrected, causing the pickup to rotate clockwise and crashing into a ditch on the side of the road.

The truck then rammed into a tree and overturned, ejecting both the driver and her passenger. The passenger died at the scene. Our condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims.

According the Florida Highway Patrol, neither victim was wearing a seat belt. You can find more information here.
