On September 20, 2009 at approximately 4:30 PM a Chevrolet Cobalt driven by Benjamin Holmes was traveling south on US Route 15 in the right lane. As he approached the bridge construction at the SR114 overpass, Holmes moved to the left lane which was occupied by a Ford F350 pulling a camper trailer driven by Raymond Hoffman. Holmes’ car was struck by Hoffman’s truck which caused Holmes to lose control and strike the guide rail in the center median. The impact with the guide rail caused driver’s side air bag deployment. Holmes corrected and veered into the construction median created by orange barriers striking a construction sign. Minor injuries were reported, but the parties declined EMS treatment.
