With Tuesday’s deadly crash, Lee County is on track see more traffic fatalities in 2015 compared to the previous year. According to Florida Highway Patrol, 81 people died in crashes across Lee County in 2014, compared to the current number of 78.
Jay Anderson, executive director of Stay Alive Just Drive, says the numbers show that drivers across southwest Florida are too relaxed on the roadways.
“That’s how you have to drive, as if every other driver is a threat or a risk to you,” said Anderson. “You got to be aware of what’s happening ahead of you, behind you, and to your sides.”
Fort Myers police have not yet released what led to the circumstances of Tuesday’s deadly crash, but Anderson believes most, if not all, similar incidents can be avoided.
“You have to stay alert and stay focused. That’s the most important thing that I can stress to everyone.”
