Truck set ablaze after fatal crash, Eustis man turns himself in to troopers
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla.—A Eustis man is behind bars in Orange County after fleeing a crash that killed an Orlando bicyclist Monday.
Around 9:15 a.m., Jermaine Williams, 42, was driving a Dodge Ram southbound on South Orange Blossom Trail in Orange County and failed to stop for a bicyclist traveling westbound in the crosswalk at 43rd Street. The Dodge struck the 43-year-old bicyclist, and he was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center and pronounced deceased, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Williams fled the scene and Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputies soon located the Dodge on fire behind a nearby business. FHP took the truck as evidence and Williams later contacted FHP and turned himself in, FHP said. He was arrested for leaving the scene of a crash with death and booked into the Orange County Jail, where he is being held on no bond.
“This case remains an active criminal investigation and further charges are pending,” FHP Lt. Tara Crescenzi said.
