Lehigh Acres, FL : One person dead after car slammed into a tree Saturday evening July 26th 2014.

It was a chaotic scene in the parking lot of a Lehigh Walmart Saturday evening after a car slammed into a tree just feet away from bystanders and killed one person.

Lee County Sheriff's Office says the driver, Kyle Kashner of Lehigh Acres lost control of the 1999 Pontiac rounding the curve on Lee Boulevard. Kashner's car left the road and hit the tree on the driver's side door. Kashner was pronounced dead at the scene.

The car rotated around the tree but not before hitting a shopping cart that landed against a couple of other cars in the Walmart parking lot.

"All of a sudden you hear a car revving up. I told my mom I think someone is being stupid, acting young. And then you hear is a big boom, and then smoke," said witness Ilissa Hammond.

It took emergency crews two hours to clear the scene. Onlookers gathered along Lee Boulevard to see what was going on.
