It’s possible the driver experienced some sort of health incident, like a seizure. There was an overturned truck at Hanks furniture on Davis Highway early monday morning. Anyone know what happened there?
The same type of inattentive driving killed a Florida State Trooper, a wrecker driver and a bystander, at the scene of a previous crash on I-75, Saturday, just south of Ocala. Three dead…what was the driver thinking…or not?
