EBRO, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say two Ohio women driving home from
spring break have died after a traffic crash in the Florida Panhandle.
Walton County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Bill May tells the Northwest Florida Daily News that the women's car was full of spring break visitors returning to Ohio.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, Brittney
Gallagher of Willoughby, Ohio, was driving near Ebro on Saturday morning
when she drifted into opposing traffic. Troopers say Gallagher's
attempts to correct the problem caused her vehicle to rotate and cross
into the path of a pickup truck driven by Kelly Porter of Stillwater,
Okla.
Gallagher and her front passenger, Courtney Miller
of Niles, Ohio, were pronounced dead at the scene. Two other passengers
were hospitalized in critical condition.
Porter was hospitalized in serious condition.
