A 16-year-old girl was killed and a driver was hospitalized Friday after severe storms swept through the Tallahassee area.
– A 16-year-old girl in the Florida Panhandle was killed when a tree fell on the vehicle she was in during a fierce storm that saw wind speeds reach 80 mph, authorities said.
The girl was killed and the vehicle's driver was hospitalized Friday after the storms swept through the Tallahassee area, according to the Leon County Sheriff's Office. Because of the damaging winds, authorities in neighboring Jefferson County temporarily closed Interstate 10, the main highway through the Florida Panhandle.
Damage was caused by straight-line winds that reached speeds of between 60 and 80 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission.
