An elderly man is dead following a deadly crash in the beginning of November.
According to a crash report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO), on Nov. 7 a 2024 Kia Seltos was traveling northbound on State Road 7/US 441in the left turn lane to turn into a plaza. According to deputies, the plaza is located at 21755 South State Road 7.
Around the same time a Toyota Tacoma, driven by a 29-year-old man, was traveling southbound on State Road 7/US 441 in the outside lane approaching the entrance to the plaza.
The crash report says that the Kia began to make a left turn into the path of the Toyota. The front corner of the Kia hit the Toyota, causing the Toyota to be redirected southwest and came to rest on the south shoulder of the plaza entrance.
The report says the Kia began to rotate counterclockwise before it rolled backwards and came to a final ditch on the west side of State Road 7.
The two occupants of the Kia, an 83-year-old man and a 78-year-old woman, were taken to Delray Medical Center.
On Wednesday at 11:05 p.m. the driver of the Kia, identified as John Evelyn, was pronounced dead at the scene.
