stated that Mr. Tyndall made no driving actions that contributed to the crash. He was trans-

ferred by Nature Coast EMS to Ocala Regional Medical Center in Ocala. The report stated

that both men wore seatbelts, and neither airbag was deployed during the crash.

According to the FHP, the crash occurred at 4:36 am, as Kennedy was driving the

Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck, traveling north on U.S. Hwy. 19 in the outside lane, 781 feet

north of W. Cornflower Dr., and south of the Inglis Barge Canal. The semi truck was travel-

ing south on U.S. Hwy. 19 in the inside lane. For unknown reasons, the Chevy pickup truck

went out of the outside lane onto the east dirt shoulder, then traveled approximately 352 feet

on the east shoulder, over-corrected back onto the northbound lanes of U.S. Hwy. 19, then

across the median into the southbound lanes of U.S. Hwy. 19, where the semi truck was trav-

eling. The right side of the Chevy S-10 pickup truck struck the left front of the semi truck,

causing the semi truck to overturn onto its right side.The Chevy S-10 pickup truck came to

rest on the west shoulder of U.S. Hwy.19, facing west, and the semi truck came to rest on its

right side, across the southbound lanes of U.S. Hwy. 19, facing east.

A witness saw the driver (Kennedy) of the Chevy S-10 pickup truck, fleeing the

scene of the crash on foot, headed north on U.S. Hwy.19. FHP Trooper Jeff Sudlow located

Kennedy, "the hit-and-run driver" at U.S. Hwy. 19 and W. Hollinswood Trail at 13:17 pm,

aided by a tip from a witness. At that time, Kennedy was cited on four violations: operating

while driver s license suspended, cancelled or revoked (first conviction); leaving the scene

of a crash, with injury, without rendering aid - a felony; leaving the scene of a crash with

more than $50 in damages without giving information; and failing to drive in single lane. In

addition to damages of $10,000 to the Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck and $500,000 to the semi

truck, a street sign and post was damaged at a replacement cost of $200. The report stated

that Kennedy is not the owner of the vehicle he was driving.

This 66 foot shrimp boat "Fleet 12" was reported grounded off Homosassa April 1987. A

fisherman notified the Crystal River Police Department who contacted the Florida Marine Pa-

trol about the stuck trawler which ended up with 8 tons of marijuana with a street value of 2.8

million dollars on board. 260 to 300 bales in plastic wrapped burlap bags from Jamaica were

removed and brought to shore. A 30 foot crab boat was also located abandoned off Crystal

River loaded with bales as part of the same operation.FMP and U S Customs sent the bales to
