Seven Deaths From Fay - Many Traffic Related

By Eddie Farah

As tropic storm Fay leaves Florida she leaves seven deaths in her path. Many people lost their lives on our roads.

Two men were in their vehicle Thursday morning when a tree fell on their car in Nassau County. The passenger, Roberto Constantino, 27, of Tijuana, Mexico died from the felled maple. The driver was hospitalized.

A 44-year-old driver was killed when his truck lost control while going around a curve Thursday.

A16-year-old girl died after her vehicle collided with an SUV after spinning around on a wet road Wednesday. A 43-year-old man died in Indian River County Wednesday when his car lost control and hit a traffic light post.

And two swimmers decided to tackle the rough surf at Neptune Beach. A 21-year-old women from Indiana died while a 35-year-old man drowned Thursday in Volusia County.

The roads and the surf are the last place you want to be during a storm and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist predicted, "This is going to be a killer storm."

Our condolences to the families of those killed during Tropical Storm Fay.
