Troopers confirmed the crash occurred around 6:30 p.m. on June 30, at the intersection of N Old 27 Highway and County Road 104.
According to the initial investigation, a newer model Ford Edge pulling a trailer with jet skis was traveling westbound on County Road 104 when it approached the intersection of Old-27 Highway/N Harrison Road.
At the same time, police said a GMC Sierra pickup truck was traveling north on Old-27 Hwy when the SUV failed to stop at a stop sign and crossed the road in front of the oncoming truck.
