Lake Worth Man Killed in Rollover Crash Near Boynton Beach


Posted on May 14, 2010

A tow truck driver who attempted to make an illegal u-turn on the Florida Turnpike on Monday, May 10, caused a fatal Florida auto accident that closed the Turnpike's southbound lanes for nearly 2 hours.

At approximately 11:15 am, tow truck driver Mark Walter Edwards, 42, of West Palm Beach was driving southbound on the Florida Turnpike. He attempted to make an illegal U-turn about 4 miles north of Atlantic Avenue. Edwards slowed and pulled his truck into the median, but the rear of his truck remained protruding into the adjacent traffic lane. 

A van driven by Anthony Giardina, 32, of Lake Worth collided with the tow truck and rolled over. According to a Florida Highway Patrol news release, Giardina, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene. Edwards did not sustain any injuries. 

This fatal Florida accident is still under investigation by the FHP and charges are pending. The use of drugs or alcohol by either party is not believed to be a factor in the crash.

We send our sincere condolences to those who have been affected by this unfortunate incident.
