MILTON, FL—
A driver was killed early Friday after rear-ending a car on Interstate 10 that had stopped due to road construction.
According to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol, at around 2 a.m. Friday three cars were traveling east on Interstate 10 at mile marker 20, approaching Avalon Boulevard. Two of the cars, one driven by 38-year-old Amaury Cisneros Morales of Orlando and another driven by 57-year-old Brian Cordes of Slidell, Louisiana, came to a complete stop due to a construction roadblock in the area.
A Freightliner truck traveling behind Morales’ car failed to stop and rear-ended the trailer being towed by Morales’ car, according to the FHP report. The truck then became engulfed in flames.
The driver of the truck died in the crash, and the driver’s identity has not yet been released pending next-of-kin notification.
