WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — A 76-year-old passenger was killed when a vehicle being test driven by an 86-year-old man turned into the path of a car just outside a Florida car dealership.
The crash happened Saturday evening in Winter Haven, which is between southwest of Orlando, Polk County Sheriff’s officials said in a news release.
Investigators said the man test driving the 2023 Nissan Rogue made a left turn in front of an oncoming vehicle as they were returning to the car lot.
First responders found Jean Worme dead at the scene, officials said. The driver suffered minor injuries. The sales representative from the dealership, who had gone on the test drive, and the driver of the other vehicle were not injured, the report said.
Everyone in both vehicles were wearing seat belts, the sheriff’s office said.
An investigation is continuing.
