According to a Florida Highway Patrol report Nauman was traveling north in his 2013 Ford van when the vehicle drifted off the east shoulder where it struck a utility pole. The pole broke and dropped several live wires onto a 2002 Buck driven by Richard Bacik of Sarasota.

Bacik, 51, was stopped for a traffic light and was not hurt. Several lanes of the intersection were closed for a couple of hours during the investigation.

A utility crew fixed the damaged pole.
