Sarasota County, FL (March 25, 2020) The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) reported that one victim was tragically killed and three others were injured in a crash off I-75 in Sarasota around 3:30 p.m.

A truck driver who was driving southbound on the I-75 ramp pulled partially over onto the median to readjust supplies in the bed of his 2020 Dodge truck. Three passengers from Fort Myers, Leon Keith, 18, Marquis Jones, 27, and Reonte Scott, 22, were injured in the crash.

Mr. Jones and Mr. Scott got out of the truck to readjust the supplies, according to FHP. A vehicle driven by John Algar, 49, was driving behind the truck and was attempting to merge onto I-75. Mr. Algar’s car hit the back right of the truck which caused it to push forward and spin around. The truck hit Mr. Jones and Mr. Scott.

Mr. Algar later died from his injuries at Doctors Hospital of Sarasota. Mr. Jones, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Keith were taken to Sarasota Memorial, according to FHP troopers. Mr. Keith and Mr. Jones had minor injuries, but Mr. Scott suffered serious injuries.

FHP troopers reported charges will be determined following the completion of the traffic homicide crash investigation.
