OVIEDO, Fla. – A tragic crash on Tuesday claimed a life along State Road 434 at the intersection of Hammock Lane — an area known more for quiet neighborhoods than for high-impact collisions. It’s a residential stretch, and in all my years of covering traffic, I can’t recall ever seeing something so severe in this exact spot.
Today’s live stream is dedicated to more than just reporting what happened—it’s about learning from it. We’re going to walk through the details of the incident, examine the layout of the roadway, and talk about what could have contributed to such a devastating outcome.
Whether it was speed, distraction, poor visibility, or a simple mistake at the wheel, every crash has something to teach us. And if taking a closer look helps just one person slow down, stop at a sign, or check their blind spot, then maybe — just maybe — we can prevent another tragedy from unfolding at this intersection or any other like it…
