A 19-year-old man was killed in a two-vehicle crash on Friday morning in Orlando’s Meadow Woods neighborhood.
According to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol, the fatal crash occurred at around 5:20 a.m. on Friday, January 31, near the intersection of Rhode Island Woods Circle and Fairway Glen Drive.
FHP stated that the 19-year-old man was traveling westbound on Rhode Island Woods Circle, near the intersection of Fairway Glen Drive, in a 2017 Honda Accord.
A second vehicle – a 2017 Chevrolet Equinox – was heading westbound on Rhode Island Woods Circle in front of the Honda.
An FHP trooper noted in the report that as the Chevrolet approached the intersection and began to make a left turn onto Fairway Glen Drive, the Honda entered the oncoming lane in an attempt to pass the Chevrolet.
Moments later, the right side of the Honda crashed into the left side of the Chevrolet. After the initial impact, the Honda veered off the roadway to the left before colliding with a wall.
The Honda’s driver and sole occupant sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The driver and sole occupant of the Chevrolet, identified in the report as a 19-year-old Orlando woman, was not injured and remained at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation, according to FHP.
