GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Agelu Iosia Nunu, 23, of Lake Butler, was arrested yesterday on a warrant for allegedly killing a Gainesville woman in an October 2023 head-on crash on State Road 121.
At about 6:15 a.m. on October 28, 2023, Nunu was reportedly driving a Toyota Corolla northbound on SR 121, approaching NW 177th Avenue, and Sonya Rebecca Lindee of Gainesville was driving a Honda Civic southbound on SR 121. A Florida Highway Patrol investigation determined that in heavy fog, the Corolla crossed the centerline and southbound lane, with the driver’s side tires exiting the roadway on the west shoulder. Nunu reportedly overcorrected and entered the northbound lane before steering left again and entering the southbound lane. For an unknown reason, the Civic also left the roadway onto the west shoulder at the same time Nunu crossed into the southbound lane, and the left front of the Corolla collided with the left front of the Honda in the southbound lane. Lindee was pronounced deceased at the scene…
