Edgewater, FL (June 19, 2020) – On Thursday morning, June 18, a man was killed in a fatal truck accident on I-95 in Edgewater.
The accident allegedly took place in the northbound lanes of I-95 around the area of State Road 442. The Florida Highway Patrol confirmed that a 23-year-old man was driving a 2000 Honda sedan when he stopped to speak with a serviceman about a hole in his tire.
The driver of the Honda went toward the exit with his hazard lights on but a tractor-trailer carrying Amazon packages did not see him. The truck rear-ended the Honda.
The driver of the Honda was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The driver of the tractor-trailer suffered from minor injuries.
Police continue their investigation into the circumstances of the collision.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
