Live Oak —
Florida Highway Patrol responded to a wreck on Sunday that may have been caused by a mechanical malfunction.
According to an FHP report, Thomas McPeters, 75, Live Oak, was driving a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze and traveling west on 120th Street. McPeters said the vehicle suddenly and rapidly started accelerating out of control. As a result, the vehicle traveled off the roadway to the left onto the southernmost grassy shoulder and struck a tree with its front. The vehicle then rotated counter clockwise and came to a final rest facing south.
FHP Trooper JP Sumner said physical evidence at the scene supports McPeter’s statement; in that, he observed the front tires of the vehicle spun down into the dirt where it struck the tree, which indicates a possible mechanical malfunction.
McPeters was treated for minor injuries. His passenger, Beatrice McPeters, 73, Live Oak, did not sustain injuries.
