SANFORD, FLORIDA — A 21-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday night in connection with a fatal crash in Sanford that investigators said appears to have started as a road-rage incident.
One person was killed in in the incident Wednesday when they crashed into a tree, police said.
Sanford police spokesman Ronny Neal said people in two cars, a black Volkswagen Jetta and a green Chevrolet Cavalier, were involved in a verbal altercation. Moments later, Darrius Grooms, 26, in the Jetta, crashed into a tree and died, police said.
"It sounded like a huge tree falling," witness Oscar Roberts told Channel 9’s Roy Ramos.
Witness Linda Walls said the driver in the Cavalier nearly hit her after leaving the crash scene.
"My nerves were a little shattered by the time I got to my friend's house down the street," Walls said. "I couldn't see the driver, but I did see it was some kind of small green car."
