Wrecked Vehicle Found In Highway 97 Wooded Area
March 21, 2013
There were no known injuries in a single vehicle wreck near Walnut Hill Thursday morning.
A passerby spotted the wrecked Ford Expedition about 7:15 a.m. in a wooded area on Highway 97 just north of Tungoil Road. There was no one around the vehicle; the wreck had apparently happened sometime overnight.
The driver was apparently northbound on Highway 97 when they missed a curve and ran off the roadway. The vehicle continued at a high rate of speed about 175 feet across one driveway, airborne over a second driveway and into a wooded area. The SUV struck several trees before coming to rest in the woods.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.
