Meanwhile, the Honda Civic was traveling eastbound on Winners Circle at the intersection of US 441. As the driver of the Civic began to make a left turn to go northbound on US 441, the front of Benavidas impacted the driver’s side front corner of the car.
The force of the impact caused Benavidas to be ejected. Both vehicles were redirected in a southwest direction and came to rest in the median break.
According to witness statements and preliminary investigation, the speed of Benavidas may have been a factor. Benavidas was pronounced dead at the scene.
