Palm Beach Co., FL (April 22, 2025) – A fatal crash occurred between two vehicles in Palm County on Monday night, April 21. Just before 9:00 p.m., the incident was reported to police and EMS who swiftly responded to the scene. It happened in the 17900 block of South Military Trail near the entrance to the Polo Club Shops. A speeding vehicle was reportedly traveling in the inner lane of S Military Trail while a second vehicle was headed north in the left turn lane attempting to turn into the lot for the Polo Club when the first car struck it’s passenger side. The impact sent the second vehicle into a concrete utility pole. The first car stopped at the shrub line where the engine was engulfed in flames. All four people inside the second vehicle lost their lives in the crash. They were identified as Arlene Rose, 87, James Rose, 88, Thelma Levy, 93, and Gerald Levy, 92. Two occupants of the first vehicle were taken to a local hospital with injuries. Police continue to investigate.
We want to offer our sincere condolences to the family members of the deceased victims.
Florida Traffic Accidents
Car accidents are a devastating reality in Florida, with over 1,000 collisions reported every day. With more than 15 million drivers on Florida roads and over 220 million across the U.S., it’s no surprise that traffic crashes are a daily occurrence. Tragically, many of these accidents result in fatalities, forever changing the lives of families left behind.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), over 94% of fatal traffic accidents are caused by driver negligence. This includes distracted driving, impaired driving, excessive speed, and fatigue—all common and preventable behaviors that can end lives in an instant. Something as seemingly minor as glancing at a phone can become a deadly act, leading to irreversible loss.
Losing a loved one in a traffic collision is one of the most painful experiences anyone can endure. The emotional toll is immense, and unfortunately, it’s often accompanied by sudden and overwhelming financial burdens—funeral expenses, medical bills, and the loss of household income are just a few of the challenges families face.
In such heartbreaking situations, it’s critical to have compassionate legal guidance on your side. A dedicated wrongful death attorney can help you understand your rights and pursue compensation that can ease the financial stress during this time of mourning.
