Van carrying nine people crashes, killing man, injuring another

A man died in an early Thursday morning crash involving a cargo-style van.

Nine people, including three juveniles, were traveling in the van when it crashed around 6:10 a.m. in Jefferson County on County Road 149 near Dills Road, just outside of Monticello, according to Florida Highway Patrol spokesperson Patricia Jefferson-Shaw.

The van lost control for unknown reasons and crashed, killing the man and seriously injuring another adult passenger who was taken to Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare.

FHP troopers cleared the scene around 12:35 p.m., she said. It is unknown at this time if the passengers had relation to one another or if they were working for a company or with an organization.
