Deltona Car Accident Kills Elderly Man

A Deltona car accident involving three vehicles leaves an elderly man dead. The auto accident occurred at approximately 2:00 PM on Thursday afternoon, February 18, 2010.

According to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened at the intersection of Alladin Drive and Saxon Boulevard. Reports indicate that Joseph Freed Jr, 76, of Deltona, was making a left turn from Alladin onto Saxon in his 2002 Saturn when he was struck by a 1999 Plymouth. The Plymouth was reportedly eastbound on Saxon.

Freed was pronounced dead from injuries sustained in the accident.

The force of the impact caused the minivan to travel into oncoming traffic and into the path of a 2001 Pontiac. The driver of the Plymouth has been identified as Noel Nieves, 19, of Deltona. Rescue crews transported Nieves to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach. He was treated for minor injuries.

Heather Almany, 36, also of Deltona, and a 5-year-old child, were in the Pontiac at the time of the collision. Fortunately, neither of then were hurt.

The Deltona car accident is still under investigation by local authorities.

This is an unfortunate incident that claimed the life of this 76-year-old man. Our thoughts and condolences go out to all of those that have been impacted by this traumatic event.
