Seminole, Fla. (970 WFLA) - A two-vehicle crash early Sunday killed one of the drivers and sent the other to the hospital in critical condition, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Robert Fournier, 56, of Seminole tried to turn his Dodge Challenger from Starkey Road onto Magnolia Drive at about 3 a.m. when state troopers say he pulled into the path of a Lincoln pickup truck.
The right front of Fournier's car hit the front of the truck, which left the road, struck a concrete bus bench, a street sign, then a wooden fence on Magnolia Drive, according to the crash report from the FHP. Fournier died later at a hospital.
The 50-year-old driver of the truck, whose name the FHP had not released by midday Sunday, went to the hospital in critical injuries. Christopher Clark, 47, a passenger in the truck also suffered serious injuries. The crash report said that Clark and the truck's driver had been drinking, and that charges were pending.
