FHP: 3 killed in head-on collision on SR 29

Published: Updated:

IMMOKALEE, Fla.- Three people were killed in a head-on collision on State Road 29 near Oil Well Road on Thursday, Florida Highway Patrol said.

Troopers say the driver of a car tried to pass several trucks but was unable to make it and slammed head-on into a van, killing the driver and the passenger.

“You can’t use your vehicles as a time machine,” said Norman Parks with FHP, who is warning drivers to be more patient.

The identities of those involved have not been released yet.

SR 29 between Oil Well Park Road and Interstate 75 was closed for more than five hours but it has now been reopened.
