Orlando, Fla - Car Accident Leaves 2-Year-Old Dead
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A terrible automobile accident killed a 2-year-old boy in Orange County on Saturday.
According to Florida Highway Patrol, a pickup truck crashed into the rear of the car in which the little boy was a passenger at the intersection of State Road 50 and Lake Pickett Road.
2-year-old Eric Brauns was killed on impact.
Investigators said the driver of the truck may have fallen asleep at the wheel. SR-50 was closed for several hours after the crash.
