Homosassa crash takes life of bicyclist
A traffic crash in Homosassa at 6:20 pm, Nov. 29, took the life of a bicyclist, 32
year-old Trevor Martin Alexander, of Homosassa. The crash occurred on Cardinal St. at
Short Pt. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 21 year-old Shellie Mitchell of Homo-
sassa, was driving a 2005 Honda CRV, traveling east on Cardinal St., approaching Short Pt.
Mr. Alexander was peddling his bicycle, traveling east on Cardinal St., ahead of the Honda.
The front of the Honda struck the rear of the bicycle, and Mr. Alexander was ejected from
the bicycle. After the impact, the Honda continued traveling east, onto the south shoulder.
Mr. Alexander sustained fatal injuries and expired at the scene of the crash. Ms. Mitchell,
who was wearing a seatbelt, was not injured in the crash. The press release stated that alco-
hol was not a factor in the crash. It also stated that unspecified charges are pending.
