NAPLES, FL : Car crashes into boardwalk flips onto Naples Beach on Friday, 14th July 2023

A driver flipped their car on the beach access point at the end of 5th Avenue South in Naples. The Naples Police Department is still investigating what caused the driver to crash.

The driver hit the boardwalk and landed upside down in the sand. The boardwalk sustained significant damage from Hurricane Ian. This accident did not cause much additional damage to the structure.

“The accident really doesn’t change [much]; we still have the access point open,” said Chad Merritt, director of Naples Parks and Recreation. “The only thing really done that I could see is a post that was already damaged; she broke off.”

Beachgoers like Sara Amador were shocked to hear of the crash.
