One Victim Was Only 18-Years-Old
The Florida Highway Patrol has just released the names of two people involved in a crash on University Blvd. near the 417 just after 7 p.m. Saturday.
The crash was so severe both lanes of University Blvd. were shutdown so one victim could be airlifted by medical chopper to Orlando Regional Medical Center, according to Kim Miller with FHP.
“It involved a 1999 Jeep SUV, driven by 18-year-old Osama Shishan and a 2001 Ford SUV driven by 28-year-old Amber Burger,” Miller said.
Miller did not have any additional details, including which driver was airlifted or her condition now, because the report was not complete and the trooper who worked the crash is off today, she said.
KnightNews.com crews responding to the scene yesterday discovered one victim inside one of the vehicles was entrapped so badly, firefighters had to cut off the entire roof to rescue the victim.
It is believed that was the person airlifted to ORMC.
KnightNews.com has e-mailed UCF with the names of the victims to try and determine whether they are currently, or ever have been, UCF students.
