The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) reports that 28-year-old Jacob Clyde Aford on Ponce de Leon, Florida, received serious injuries in a Feb. 27th crash on Hwy 331 in Walton County.
According to the FHP, Alford was driving a 2019 Kenworth dumpster northbound on Highway 331 when he dropped his drink and bent over to pick it up. As the driver was sitting back up he noticed the vehicle had traveled onto the east shoulder of the roadway. He attempted to stear the vehicle back to the left and over corrected causing the vehicle to overturn.
While overturning the vehicle collided with a road sign that indicated a hospital was ahead. The vehicle came to final rest on the right side facing southwest.
