Auburndale, Florida – Around 11:55 a.m. on Saturday, July 21, 2018, PCSO deputies & PCFR responded to a two-vehicle crash on K-Ville Avenue in Auburndale, near Sun Acres Blvd., that resulted in one fatality.
Preliminary information is as follows:
28-year-old Jamall Shell of Myrtle Street in Haines City was driving his 2001 Nissan Sentra eastbound on K-Ville Avenue when he appeared to have lost control while navigating the bend in the roadway. He slid into the pathway of a 2002 Chrysler Sebring convertible that was heading westbound, being driven by 31-year-old Latesha Davis of Lake Shipp Court in Winter Haven.
Davis was unable to avoid striking Shell, and her car struck his on the passenger side. Shell was taken to LRHMC where he was declared deceased.
Davis and her front seat passenger, 30-year-old Janita Commings of Winter Haven, were not significantly injured.
All parties were wearing their seatbelts and airbags in both vehicles deployed. Both speed and the rainy weather appear to have been factors on the part of Shell. No charges are pending.
The roadways were closed for approximately 3 hours during the investigation.
