1 killed, 1 injured in car, truck rear-end crash in Bonita Springs 

RearCarAccident

BONITA SPRINGS, FL – A 21-year-old man driving a car lost his life, and a 51-year-old man operating a trash truck sustained minor wounds following a rear-end wreck Friday.

This collision unfolded when, for reasons unclear, the car driver, an Estero resident, rear-ended the trash truck on I-75 North along mile marker 120, according to WINK News. The impact of this wreck caused the dump truck to overturn completely and land on its roof, while the car’s roof and the rest of the vehicle were totaled.

Due to the nature of this wreck, the Florida Highway Patrol, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, and local fire crews had to shut down the area between Bonita Beach and Corkscrew Road for several hours to accommodate the scene clearance and investigation period.

Authorities later reopened the area around 8 a.m.

Officials have not further commented on the events leading to this wreck, listed the contributing factors behind this crash, or said if the truck driver, a Lehigh Acres man, had to go to the hospital.

An investigation is underway. Additional details will be provided as our team of news writers learn more.
