3 killed in area crashes

Three young people were killed and three others injured in a pair of unrelated accidents early Saturday. Both accidents occurred when pickups struck large trees, one west of Brooker in Bradford County and the other in northwestern Alachua County involving a Santa Fe High School student.

In one accident, two High Springs area teenagers, William Matthew Long, 19, and Kristie Lynn Lamoureaux, 17, died in a crash at NW 142nd Avenue and NW 268th Street, according to troopers.

Two others in the pickup, William Long's brother Michael Joseph Long, 20, and John Quinn Presnell, 17, received major incapacitating injuries, including internal injuries, and were taken to Shands at the University of Florida, said FHP spokesman Lt. Mike Burroughs.

Presnell was in serious condition late Saturday and Long was in fair condition, the hospital reported.

In the second accident, the Florida Highway Patrol had not determined by late Saturday the exact time of a Bradford County accident that killed Codey Ann Murray, 20, of Newberry and injured her only passenger, Daniel Smith Griffis II, 23, of Starke.

According to a crash report by FHP Cpl. J. A. Starling, Murray was driving a 2006 GMC pickup west on State Road 18. Murray and Smith were not wearing their seat belts. Starling determined the accident happened when the GMC failed to follow a curve in the highway, crossed the center line and ran off the pavement. The truck continued through a metal fence and came to a stop after hitting a tree with the left front. Murray was pronounced dead at the scene and Griffis was taken to Shands at Starke with minor injuries, according to Starling's report. Griffis' condition was not immediately available Saturday night.

In the crash involving the High Springs area teens, Burrough said that, based on a preliminary investigation, troopers believe the crash was related to alcohol use and the vehicle's speed. He did not say how fast the vehicle was going, but that it was faster than the road's 30 mph speed limit.

Burroughs said it appeared the pickup was headed to drop off Lamoureaux at her home. He did not know where the four had been earlier that night. At about 12:20 a.m., the pickup was driving west on NW 142nd Avenue, approaching the intersection with NW 268th Street, when it drove off the dirt road.

"There's no indication of any braking," Burroughs said. "Vehicle tire marks clearly indicated it drove off the roadway and over a small embankment and struck a large tree with the right front."

No one in the pickup was wearing a seat belt, troopers reported.

The force of the impact threw the four against the right side of the vehicle, Burroughs said. Officers could not immediately determine who had been driving the 2004 Ford pickup, which Burroughs said is registered to Michael Long.

Alachua County School Board spokeswoman Jackie Johnson said Presnell is a student at Santa Fe High School and that a crisis team made up of counselors from around the district will be at the school Monday morning to work with students and faculty members who may be grieving over the tragedy.

Who all is planning on going? We are . I hope the cool weather hangs in for us! Not to cool though. LOL

Yes, there was a decent turn out...
Are we getting a new riding area...............
Not any time soon! The information given at the meeting was basicly a recap of the August meeting and for the most part they did not want to answer question. It was a real let down over all!

poor thing that is not fair what happened!

PUBLIC PROTEST OR DEMONSTRATION

Miami-Dade County Police Department does not require citizens in unincorporated Miami-Dade County to obtain a permit prior to any public protest, rally or demonstration.

Thanks Everyone for comming out last night!

Leo thanks for bringing the shirts!

Good Morning,

I would like to thank everyone for attending the OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) meeting last night. Looking around seeing the meeting hall filled to capacity was wonderful.

As we were all able to see and hear last night the project of an OHV park is off to a good start. Each of us has our concerns about different location as well as different ideas for layouts of the land. These meeting are so that our voices can be heard and continue to be heard.

There were some new ideas, new questions, and new possible location for a legal OHV area mentioned last night. I look forward to working with everyone on these over the coming months.

Thank you again to everyone for coming out last night and showing your support for a family oriented form of recreation.

Florida Highway Patrol has created a emergency contact system. You can go online and enter two (2) emergency contacts on your Florida Drivers License (electronically) which can only be retrieved by a  law enforcement officer. This way, if you are in an accident, the police can run your drivers license number and have access to emergency contact information immediately. This information may save crucial time if it becomes necessary to contact family members, or other loved ones in an emergency. This service is only available to individuals holding a current Florida Driver License or Florida Identification Card.  Attached is a flyer from Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
