According to the sheriff’s office, Ezekiel Gomez-Antunez, 25, of Lakeland, swerved his Silverado off the road, overcorrected, and collided with a culvert on Ewell Road at approximately 5 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PCSO said that Gomez- Antunez’s vehicle flipped, ejecting him from the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police stated that he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident and that excessive speed could have been a factor in the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gomez-Antunez was taken to the hospital by first responders, where he later passed from his injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 7:20 p.m. that evening, deputies and Polk County Fire Rescue were alerted to a crash near 5250 SR-33 North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the sheriff’s office, David Paul, 45, of Lakeland, was speeding in and out of traffic on his motorcycle when he lost control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to deputies, Paul’s motorcycle landed and drifted into the path of a Chevrolet Malibu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Malibu flipped off the road after colliding with Paul and his motorcycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PSCO said another vehicle, a Scion, drove off the road and collided with a traffic sign to avoid the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authorities, both drivers were treated at the hospital and then discharged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul was found dead at the scene by first responders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
