Daytona Beach Accidents Kill 2

Two separate accidents left two people dead in Volusia County last Saturday. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 55-year-old Philip Rizzuto, of Edgewater, driving a 2003 Ford pickup truck, entered southbound I-95 from State Road 44 at a high speed. Rizzuto lost control of the truck and crossed the west shoulder of I-95, where his truck rolled over and struck a tree.
 
FHP spokeswoman Sgt. Kim Montes declared that the crash happened at 1.30 p.m. and is still under investigation.
 
Montes further reported that the Florida Highway Patrol is also on the lookout for the driver of a tractor-trailer involved in a hit-and-run accident that left a 66-year-old woman dead.
 
The accident occurred on the northbound lanes of I-95 near mile marker 274. When the tractor-trailer changed lanes, it hit a motor home towing a passenger car. The driver, Thomas Gentry, aged 66, of Titusville, lost control of the motor home and struck a sign as the vehicle entered the grass shoulder. According to FHP troopers, the camper then hit an embankment, crossed the U.S.1 entrance ramp and struck a fence.
 
While Thomas Gentry, who was wearing a seatbelt, suffered only minor injuries, Sandra Gentry, unrestrained in the passenger seat, was killed in the crash.
 
The attorneys of Johnson & Gilbert convey their most heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the victims.
