Citra,FL : Corrections officer dies in crash on CR 329 Saturday 27th August 2016.


A corrections officer was killed early Saturday morning when the sport utility vehicle she was driving drifted off County Road 329 and struck a tree.
Crystal McNeal, 27, of Citra, was believed to be driving home sometime after 2 a.m. when the crash occurred, according to Florida Highway Patrol troopers. McNeal, who worked at Lowell Correctional Institution, was pronounced dead at the accident scene.
She had been driving the 2005 Dodge Durango west in the 500 block of CR 329 when it left the road and hit a large oak tree. Before the crash, officials said, there was a report of a vehicle, believed to be hers, that was being driven recklessly.
Officials said speed was a factor in the crash. McNeal was not wearing a seat belt at the time, FHP officials said.
The traffic death was the third one reported in a week's time. Last Saturday, a man was found dead in a ditch following an earlier hit-and-run crash on North U.S. 441. On Wednesday, a special needs woman was killed when she was thrown from a minivan that rolled over in an accident near Forest High School.
