Wendy Fisk, 44, of Milton was killed, while six-year-old Brenden Fisk was critically-injured on Sunday afternoon following a traffic incident on Interstate 10.
According to a press release from the Florida Highway Patrol, the incident occurred when their vehicle was traveling west bound in the outside lane on State Road 8 (I-10) near mile marker 16. The vehicle then drifted onto the paved shoulder. According to the narrative in the press release, the vehicle then over steered to the left, and prior to crossing the center line of the roadway, the vehicle then over steered to the right.
