According to the Florida Highway Patrol report, the Okeechobee man was headed eastbound on State Road 60 in a pickup truck at approximately 6:15 a.m. on Thursday, April 8. The 30-year-old Grant City man was traveling west on State Road 60 in a sedan. The third vehicle was driven by a 70-year-old Lake Wales man who was headed east in a sedan.
