A driver is dead after a Chevrolet pick-up truck crashed into a house in northwest Leon County early afternoon on Thursday, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The passenger in the truck was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare with serious injuries. FHP troopers arrived at the home in the 3900 block of Bentwood Lane around 11:30 a.m. to investigate the crash, according to FHP spokesperson Patricia Shaw.
An FHP trooper on scene said no one was in the home at the time of the crash, and the victim’s next of kin has been notified.
Michael White, an employee who works at the Secondhand Sandies thrift store next door to the house, witnessed the crash and immediately ran over to help.
He said the driver ran into the house at full speed. The truck crossed between two cars in oncoming traffic before running through a ditch paralleling the road, busting through a fence surrounding the house and smashing into the house.
“I’m from the military, so I’ve seen death unfortunately,” White said. “I tried to help as best as I could; the driver was unfortunately too far beyond to be helped.”
The passenger was “in and out” before being rushed to the hospital, White said.
No other details about what caused the crash were available as of Thursday afternoon.
