According to reports, just prior to the crash, a\n2006 Ford F-150 was traveling northbound on Lakeland Highlands Road in the\ninside lane of travel. Abraham Ira Remchuk, age 42, was standing in the roadway\nnear the inside and middle lanes of northbound Lakeland Highlands Road,\nperforming survey work. The operator of the Ford, identified as Bryce Warneke,\nage 19, advised she looked down momentarily to check her speed and, upon doing\nso, hit Remchuk with the front passenger side of the vehicle. The force of the\nimpact caused Remchuk to strike another passing vehicle before falling to the\nroadway. Warneke immediately stopped and remained at the scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lakeland Police Department Traffic Unit, Polk County\nFire Rescue, and the Lakeland Fire Department all arrived on the scene and\nbegan to provide life-saving measures. Remchuk was transported to Lakeland\nRegional Health, where he was declared deceased a short time later. Warneke did\nnot suffer any physical injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remchuk was a licensed professional surveyor\/mapper, and it\nis unknown at this time what project he was working on or for whom he was\nperforming the work.&nbsp;At the time of the crash, he was standing near his\nsurveyor&#8217;s equipment and was wearing orange clothing. There were no warning\nsigns displayed in the area that indicated a surveyor was present, nor were\nthere any safety cones present in the roadway where Remchuk was working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The roadway was shut down for approximately 3 1\/2 hours\nwhile the scene was processed for the ongoing investigation. Neither speed nor\nimpairment appear to be an issue in the crash. As with all fatal accident\ninvestigations, a toxicology test will be done on the driver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If anyone has any additional information regarding the\ncrash, please contact Traffic Homicide Investigator Tyler Anderson at&nbsp;863.834.2553&nbsp;or\ntyler.anderson@lakelandgov.net.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 10, 2020, at approximately 12:14 p.m., officers responded to a traffic crash involving a pedestrian at 4000 Lakeland Highlands Road, near the Polk Parkway.
