Head-On Crash in Orange County Results in One Fatality
On the afternoon of Monday, September 9th, a 2016 Dodge was being driven down the western lane of Lake Pickett Road in the eastern area of Orange County. It is believed that the only person within the Dodge at the time of the auto accident was the driver, and as they approached a slower moving vehicle they decided to try and pass. This decision, while normally an acceptable one, was made in a designated “no-passing zone” area. Areas such as this are marked because of the perceived danger connected with attempts to pass other vehicles. The driver of the 2016 Dodge was either not aware of this factor or simply did not care, too interested as they were in passing the car in front of them to wonder about any possible dangers associated with the action.
