2 dead in bridge crash

Shortly after 11 a.m., a southbound vehicle crossed the center line into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a second vehicle, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
One vehicle burst into flames. Midway Fire District Battalion Chief Shannon Stone said both drivers were killed on impact.
The names of the two drivers had not been released late Saturday by the FHP because family members of one driver could not be reached, FHP officials said.
Motorist Cindy Lozier of Pace was headed south across the bridge from Milton and witnessed the aftermath of the crash.
"As I got on the bridge, I saw the billowing smoke," Lozier said. "As I got over the hump, I could see fire about 20 feet high. The vehicle was completely engulfed in flames."
Both lanes of traffic on the bridge were blocked for more than three hours as authorities worked to clear the wreckage and inspect the bridge for damage.
The driver of a third vehicle, whose identity also was unavailable, suffered minor injuries when the vehicle was struck by debris from the crash. The third driver refused medical treatment at the scene, Stone said.
The accident is under investigation.
