West Palm Beach Woman Hit by Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Van
Posted on Jul 21, 2010
A Palm Beach car crash occurred on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 6, when a Palm Beach County Sheriff's van collided with a motorized scooter driven by a sixty-eight-year-old woman.
At approximately 12:30 p.m., the van, driven by civilian accident investigator, Gerlienus Hester, 44, was traveling eastbound along Westgate Avenue. Sixty-eight-year-old Barbara Guyton, of West Palm Beach, was traveling westbound along the same road on her motorized scooter. Hester, who presumably did not see Guyton, attempted a left turn onto Indian Drive.
The van hit the passing scooter on the left side, forcing it under the Palm Beach County Sheriff's van. Guyton had to be extricated from under the van and was transported to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach. She was listed in critical condition later that evening. Thankfully, her condition has since been upgraded to fair.
A police investigation into the incident is still underway.
A Palm Beach motorcycle accident, or in this case, a scooter accident, can often have devastating injuries. The Palm Beach motorcycle crash attorneys at Fetterman & Associates are relieved to hear that Ms. Guyton's condition has been upgraded, and we wish her a quick, full recovery after this unfortunate Palm Beach car wreck.
