Florida State Road 60 Accidents
Woman Killed, Police Officer in Critical Condition after Lake Wales Hit-and-Run
This past Saturday, at around 12:35am, the 25-year-old Deputy Adam Pennell pulled his cruiser over to the side of State Road 60 in Lake Wales to help the 33-year-old Jessica Enchautegui-Otero who was standing in the grassy median, looking for help. There was no car nearby. According to the last call Pennell made in to the station, the woman was near to Tiger Lake Road and Sam Keen Road. After pulling the cruiser over and switching on the emergency lights, Pennell exited the car and went to the woman. When he reached her, Enchautegui-Otero told Pennell that she had crashed into a tree and then walked to the road for assistance. Pennell saw the car and made note of Enchautegui-Otero’s injuries.
