No Injuries As Driver Slams Into SUV And House

August 21, 2015

There were no injuries when the driver of a SUV hit a vehicle on Highway 29 and then struck a house Friday morning near McDavid.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 20-year old Kelby E. Killam of Century fell asleep, causing the accident. He was northbound on Highway 29 approaching Cox Road in a 2001 GMC Yukon  when he failed to slow and struck the back of 1998 Ford Explorer driven by 30-year old Sean Silcox of McDavid and also occupied by passenger Alexandria Silcox, 31.

The Yukon then struck left the roadway, struck a culvert and went airborne, colliding with the bed cover on top of the bed of a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado that was legally parked in a driveway. The Yukon then continued through a fence and into the house.  Part of the Yukon ended up in the living room of the home and struck the outside wall of a bathroom where resident Edna Darby said she was just getting into her bathtub.

There were no injuries to anyone involved in the crash. Killam was cited with careless driving by the FHP.
