Martin Co., FL (March 9, 2025) – A fatal traffic accident took the lives of two people in Martin county on Saturday, March 8. The wreck occurred between three vehicles on Interstate 95 near Milepost 109 at approximately 2:47 a.m. Reports show a 25-year-old woman was operating a gray Toyota headed south in the inside northbound lane of the interstate while a 39-year-old man from Daytona was headed north in the northbound inside lane. The vehicles collided head-on for reasons still being inquired by law enforcement officials.
Due to the initial collision, another driver, identified as a 57-year-old male resident of Port St Lucie, also headed north, attempted to avoid debris on the road when he ran off into a median and hit a tree before stopping. Emergency crews responded to the scene and declared both the 39-year-old and the 57-year-old deceased. The woman was taken to Lawnwood Hospital for treatment. Police in Martin County continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.
We want to offer our sincere condolences to the families of the deceased individuals.
