ODI #11170743

Incident: January 10, 2019 · Filed: January 18, 2019

AS MY SON WAS DRIVING FROM DAVENPORT ON I-4 TO CONNECT WITH I-75 ON HIS WAY TO NAPLES, ON THURSDAY JANUARY 10, 2019 AROUND 10:50 AM, HE SUDDENLY ENCOUNTERED A LARGE METAL OBJECT ON THE ROAD. HE HAD NO OPPORTUNITY TO TO MOVE OVER AS THERE WHERE MANY OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND HE HAD NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUT TO DRIVE OVER IT CAUSING MULTIPLE DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE. THE IMPACT CAUSED MY SON TO EXPERIENCE CHEST PAIN AND HIS FIANCEE SUFFERED A PANIC ATTACK. WHEN THEY STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS HECTIC AND THEY DECIDED TO DRIVE TO A SAFE LOCATION. THEY WERE ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST EXIT AND DECIDED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL BUT ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS AND STOPPED AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN ORDER TO CHECK IF ANY LIQUIDS WHERE LEAKING OR ANY ENGINE DAMAGE HAD BEEN CAUSED. AT THE DEALERSHIP THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. AFTER THAT, THEY THOUGHT THEY ONLY HAD TEMPORARY ATTACKS AND RETURNED TO THE HOUSE TO REST AND PROCEEDED TO CANCEL ALL APPOINTMENTS FOR THE DAY. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT PAST THE AUBURNDALE EXIT. MY SON IS 45 YEARS OLD AND WAS RIDING THE CAR WITH HIS FIANCEE WHO WAS GOING TO A MEDIATION AS SHE IS A MEDIATOR FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES. WE HAVE ADDITIONAL PICTURES IN THE EVENT THAT MORE ARE REQUIRED TO SHOW THE DAMAGES AS THERE ARE ONLY 5 SLOTS FOR DOCUMENTATION ON THIS FORM.
