Interstate Accident Claims Life Of Gulf Breeze Man
June 30, 2017
A Gulf Breeze man was killed in a single vehicle accident Thursday afternoon on I-10.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 26-year old Michael Portillo was traveling east on the entrance ramp to I-10 attempting to merge into traffic from Pine Forest Road. His 2004 Toyota Tacoma began to rotate, traveling into the wood line and striking a tree about 1:40 p.m.
Portillo, who was wearing a seat belt, was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

I’m sorry for Mike Portillo’s family and their loss. My prayers for family and friends. He will surely be missed.
My heart goes out to the whole family of Mike Portillo. I pray for peace and guidance for all of you during this horrible time.
Alexanders Mom,

So sorry for this so young fella…so sad & prayers for finding peace in this for family. I hate trucks & the rain. They seem to spin so easy sometimes. I’ve had several spin on me before. I’m so sorry this happened. God needed another angel so bless him!

I met Mike when we worked the crawfish fest last year. He was an outstanding guy. It was a pleasure working with him that short time. May he Rest In Peace. A life taken too soon. Prayers for his family and friends at this difficult time.
Lifting the whole family in prayer.
Tundra, Toyota Tundra.
Praying for the family.
The article read that the vehicle began to rotate.. I wonder what happened? I, too, have a Tacoma. I would like to know if it was driver error or vehicle error.
Such a sad loss to the family. My condolences to the family.
