Toyota Corolla, traveling west on County Road 40. Ronald T. Bass, 55, of Debary, FL was

driving a 2002 Toyota Tundra, traveling east on County Road 40. As the two vehicles each

approached the other, Foley's vehicle drifted across the center line and partially entered

the eastbound lane, causing the front left of Foley's vehicle to strike the left front of Bass'

vehicle. Foley's vehicle came to rest in the westbound lane facing northwest. Bass' vehicle

rotated counter-clockwise and skidded off of the south grass shoulder of the roadway, where
