Lake County, Fla. – A Umatilla man is dead and another injured in a three-car crash in Lake County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The crash happened along State Road 44, west of Hammond Lane, just before midnight.
A spokesperson for the Florida Highway Patrol says a Ram pickup was traveling westbound in the eastbound lane when the front of the pickup hit a motorcycle traveling east. A second motorcycle then swerved to miss the crash and, according to Florida Highway Patrol, ‘laid down’ on the roadway.
The driver of motorcycle 1, a 20-year-old male from Umatilla, was pronounced dead on the scene. The second victim, also from Umatilla, was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The Florida Highway Patrol says the driver of the pickup was not injured.
