WENGNews writes, "ONE MAN WAS KILLED AND A WOMAN WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A FIREY ACCIDENT ON SOUTH MCCALL ROAD AT IBIS DRIVE MONDAY AFTERNOON. TROOPERS SAY 43 YEAR OLD WILLIAM SOLOMON OF ENGLEWOOD WAS WESTBOUND ON STATE ROAD 776 JUST AFTER 1PM WHEN HE CHANGED LANES AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND COLLIDED WITH A CAR TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO 776 FROM THE PAVED MEDIAN THAT WAS DRIVEN BY 77 YEAR OLD WILLIAM TYSON OF ENGLEWOOD. SOLOMON SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES, LEAVING LENGTHY SKID MARKS, BUT THE COLISION SENT TYSON’S CAR INTO A SPIN AND CAUGHT IT ON FIRE. ACCORDING TO THE SUN, TWO MEN PULLED TYSON FROM THE CAR ONCE THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT BY EXTINGUISHERS FROM SEVERAL LOCAL BUSINESSES. HE WAS REPORTEDLY UNCONSCIOUS AND TAKEN TO ENGLEWOOD COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, WHERE HE DIED A SHORT TIME LATER.
