Man Dies Two Days After Accident

June 19, 2013

An Escambia County man has died from injuries received early Monday morning when he drove through a cemetery, two fences and into a building.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 28-year old Carlos Romero was westbound on Lillian Highway in a 2011 Honda Civic when he ran off the roadway onto the westbound shoulder about 3:31 a.m. He over-corrected, crossed both lanes of Lillian Highway, hit a chain link fence at the Myrtle Grove Cemetery, traveled through the cemetery, across both lanes of 58th Avenue, through a parking lot, through another fence and into the front of George Kitcher Paint and Body Shop.

Romero was pronounced deceased Wednesday at Baptist Hospital, according to the FHP.
