A 65-year-old Palm Coast man was killed in a head-on crash caused by a 19-year-old driver crossing the yellow line early Monday morning on Belle Terre Boulevard at Kankakee Trail.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol and the Flagler County Sheriff’s 911 notes, the crash took place at 6:33 a.m. (It was initially reported by a neighbor who heard the sound of the crash while sitting in the backyard.)




An off-duty Daytona Beach police officer stopped at the scene, blocked traffic and reported the head-on collision. The 19 year old, from Interlachen, hard been driving a black SUV north. The 65 year old was driving a red pick-up truck south when the younger driver “crossed over the solid double yellow line,” FHP reported.

The younger driver had to be extracted from his vehicle. He suffered serious injuries and was transported to a hospital. FHP did not disclose the name of the victims, but noted that neither was wearing a seat belt.

The Palm Coast Fire Department and Flagler County Fire Rescue responded in addition to FHP and sheriff’s deputies. Belle Terre Boulevard was closed to traffic as the investigation took place.

The crash, the 352nd of the year, resulted in the seventh road fatality in Flagler County so far this year. The crashes have caused 218 injuries.

    The passing in double yellow line is an often and life threatening occurrence taking place daily that I witness. To the point that I am thinkimg to install a camera in my car to record the violation while driving. They do it too deadly often in Clubhouse Drive when I turn to enter my block also was done last Sunday by a driver of a shinny blue jeep that impatiently passed me on top of the overpass in Palm Harbor Parkway short of a block from my turn into Florida Park Drive while I am driving at the speed limit. Since I turned off Cimmaron after my complete stop then this speeding driver showed up and glued to my rear bumper until he paased me on the overpass. These are daily traffic violations unnadressed that could really increase the sheriff budget to provide the traffic units monitoring and necessaryto increase safety in Palm Coast and save lives! My heartfelt condolences to the family of the victim. The accidents in Palm Coast Parkway are a daily occurrence as well, because the parkway is used as a speedway by reckelss drivers with total impunity!

    The News has the wrong age of the man that was killed. He was only 48 years old and on his way to his first day on a new job and never made it. He leaves a wife and 3 children behind. My sympathies to his entire family. A life gone way too soon.
