According to Florida Highway Patrol, the SUV, a 2004 GMC Yukon, was headed southbound when the driver lost control for unknown reasons. The vehicle rotated, left the roadway, and collided with several trees before coming to a rest.

Investigators believe three people were in the car at the time of the crash. The driver and one passenger fled the scene on foot, leaving another passenger in the car.

The remaining passenger suffered fatal injuries and was found dead at the scene of the crash.

A massive search was launched for the two suspects, using K9s and helicopters.
