The GoFundMe pages are tied to a single-vehicle collision on Welch Road that occurred early Sunday morning.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, at approximately 1:37 a.m., a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck was traveling eastbound on Welch Road, approaching Wekiwa Drive. As the driver negotiated a curve, he lost control of the vehicle. The pickup ran off the roadway, struck a tree, and overturned.
