SR 82 crash memorial for Jasmine. CREDIT: WINK News After another deadly crash on State Road 82 over the weekend, families who have lost loved ones are wondering why safety improvements are taking so long. FDOT told WINK News earlier this month, it plans to implement improvements such as adding a traffic signal to the intersection at Sunshine Boulevard and prohibiting left turns from side streets onto SR 82. Drivers would instead turn right and make U-turns at adjacent intersections. Another deadly crash The words “Forever 18,” “Forever my baby,” and “Justice for Jazzy” wrap around 18-year-old Jasmine Lamar’s memorial near Sunshine Boulevard on State Road 82. Jasmine’s family said she was among the two people killed in the horrific crash Saturday night. Fresh tire tracks leading into a ditch are still visible at the deadly scene.

Last year, the light pole next to her was hit by a kid from graduation who died on a motorcycle.” Just steps away from Jasmine’s memorial, more flowers and balloons mark the spot where 18-year-old Dustin Gulsby was struck by a car while riding his motorcycle in 2023.

During a ride-along with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office’s traffic unit, a sergeant mentioned he responds to one or two deadly crashes a month on this road. The pressing question remains: can FDOT step in and implement any safety measures before another deadly crash occurs? RELATED: State Road 82: A road marked by tragedy and a plea for safety improvements FDOT’s plans The Florida Department of Transportation told WINK News a few weeks back that work will begin this summer to make SR 82 safer. Grieving families are left wondering why these changes are taking so long. WINK News asked FDOT if it could step in before another deadly crash occurred and asked questions about the timeline for safety changes, but FDOT did not answer those questions. Negron believes law enforcement cracking down on speeders on SR 82 would also make it safer. After the death of his cousin, he and his family are looking to FDOT and law enforcement for action.
