According to the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office, a 34-year-old man from Orlando was driving a 2021 Mazda CX9 north on Commonwealth Avenue when he crossed the center line and slammed head-on into a 49-year-old Lakeland man who was driving a 2021 Toyota Corolla. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver of the Corolla died at the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First responders said the driver of the Mazda suffered serious injuries in the crash, including broken ribs and a fractured wrist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was taken to an area hospital. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputies said it is unclear why the Mazda\u2019s drive crossed the center line, adding that criminal charges are possible pending the outcome of the investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roadway was closed for approximately four hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
