McIntosh’s car struck the tractor-trailer as it was attempting to execute a U-turn. It was reportedly moving at speeds of around 20 MPH and was driven by 19-year-old Kadyn DeWayne Ainsworth. He and his passenger survived the accident without injury.

After the collision, the car, a Hyundai SUV, went across the highway before coming to rest “in the wood line on the south side of the highway,” per an earlier report from Florida Highway Patrol cited by the outlet.

The Globe noted that McIntosh’s car lost its roof in the accident, citing the new ****** report.

Per the report, Ainsworth underwent drug and alcohol testing; however, the results were not reported. Officials on the scene noted that they did not believe he was under the influence. McIntosh did not undergo similar testing.

Lieutenant Jim Beauford, chief of public affairs for Florida Highway Patrol, shared a statement with the Globe, noting that this was being treated as a criminal investigation. He told the outlet that no charges would be made until the conclusion of the investigation.

“We understand the public‘s desire for a fast resolution to these criminal investigations; however, it is more important that we conduct the best investigation possible for the people that are involved,” he said in an email.

Dr. Gary Howerton, who was on the highway at the time of the ****** and tried to render aid to those involved, told the Globe that McIntosh’s car “blew by me like I was standing still.”

At the time, he estimated that he was moving at speeds of about 72 MPH.

“My first impression was, ‘Oh no.’ Something bad is going to happen because of the way he was driving,” he said, noting that he heard the collision.

He told the outlet that the truck appeared to have time to complete the U-turn, saying, “This car was just going so fast.”
