Port St. Lucie, FL (October 24, 2024) – A serious traffic accident occurred on Tuesday evening involving a low speed vehicle and a car. The incident took place around 7:35 p.m. at the intersection of Town Park Avenue and Southwest Tradition Parkway, prompting an immediate investigation by local authorities.
According to investigators, a white car and a low speed vehicle were traveling southbound through the entrance gate when the driver of the low speed vehicle attempted to merge in front of the car.

Traffic Accidents in Florida
Traffic accidents are a significant concern across Florida, with thousands of individuals involved in such incidents each year. In 2024, the state has witnessed numerous collisions, underscoring the importance of road safety and awareness among drivers, especially in areas with mixed traffic, such as low speed vehicles and standard automobiles.
