Palm Beach Truck Accident Leaves One Person Dead


Posted on Feb 20, 2010

A Palm Beach truck accident involving a tractor-trailer and an overturned truck leaves one man dead. The incident took place late Monday evening, February 8, 2010, along U.S. 27.

According to reports, a driver of a truck that was transporting livestock southbound on U.S. 27 lost control of the vehicle, causing the truck to become jackknifed and eventually overturning on its side. That is when the tractor-trailer truck smashed into it, killing the driver of the tractor-trailer, who has been identified as 64-year-old John Edward James.

The driver of the truck that was transporting the livestock has been identified as 43-year-old Benigno Gomez. He was reportedly not injured in the crash.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Gomez made an attempt to warn James by waving a flashlight. Unfortunately, James was unable to stop in time and slammed into the overturned truck.

Reports indicate that approximately 100 animals were killed in the accident. The accident shut down U.S. 27 for the remainder of the night and well into the next morning to allow crews to clean-up the accident scene.

The Palm Beach tractor-trailer accident is still under investigation by local authorities. However, investigators are still trying to determine what caused the original truck to become overturned.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to all of those who have been affected by this tragic and unfortunate accident.
