LAKE WALES, Fla. (AP) — Two people are dead following a fiery, head-on collision in central Florida.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office reports that 83-year-old Walter S. Griffith was driving the wrong direction on State Route 60 near Lake Wales Wednesday morning when he hit a semi loaded with sawdust driven by 53-year-old Michael Sprouse.
The Ledger reports that both men died at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation, but officials believe Griffith may have gotten into the wrong lane when the road opened into four lanes.
