I-75 was closed for several hours earlier this week following a very serious, and fatal, car accident. Official have identified the driver of the vehicle that was killed in the serious accident.
The fatal crash took place at about 3:50 am in the northbound lanes of I-75 at the Weston Road overpass. A 2004 Corvette, being driven by the victim, struck the left corner of a tractor trailer. After the impact, the Corvette veered into the path of a second tractor trailer, which pushed the Corvette to the side. That second truck came to a rest on top of the Corvette.
Being involved in a car accident is a nerve racking experience. Most car accident victims are often left disoriented, badly bruised, injured, and, as in the case of this recent auto accident on I-75, dead. Consequently, too often car accident victims, and their families, do not take the time to secure important documents, and gather critical information.
