SORRENTO, Florida—The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a crash that killed a Grand Island man Monday night.
A 2008 Volkswagen Touareg being driven by an 82-year-old Sorrento man was eastbound on State Road 44 approaching the intersection of Barry Lane, near Sorrento around 6 p.m., according to FHP Lt. Tara Crescenzi.
The Touareg attempted to make a left turn on Barry Lane and entered the direct path of a 2018 Nissan Rogue being driven by a 66-year-old Grand Island man; as a result of the impact, the Rogue rotated, entered the eastbound lane, and struck a 2013 Chevy Cruz being driven by a 51-year-old DeLand man, Crescenzi said.
The 66-year-old Grand Island man was transported to AdventHealth Waterman in Tavares, where he later died. His passenger, an 87-year-old Grand Island man, was airlifted to HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital in Sanford with serious injuries. The driver of the Rogue and the Cruz were both transported to AdventHealth Waterman with minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
