3 dead after crash on Overseas Highway in Florida Keys

ISLAMORADA, Fla. – Three people were killed in a crash Monday along the Overseas Highway in Islamorada, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

Lt. Kathleen McKinney, a spokeswoman for the Florida Highway Patrol, said around 2 p.m. a mid-size truck carrying several portable toilets rear-ended a small car, that appeared to be making a left turn near mile marker 80. The crash sent the compact car slamming into a large recreational vehicle and then into a tree, McKinney said.
