Two people from San Antonio, Texas, died early Tuesday morning after a silver Dodge Ram ran off Interstate 10 near mile marker 51 in Okaloosa County, Florida, and struck a tree. The driver, a 65-year-old man, and a woman riding with him both died of their injuries.
The crash happened eastbound on I-10 and was reported as a single-car wreck. The Florida Highway Patrol said the case remains under investigation, leaving open the question of what caused the Ram to leave the roadway in the first place.
For now, investigators have confirmed only the basics: one vehicle, one tree, and two lives lost before daylight fully reached the highway. The victims were both from San Antonio, and no further details about the crash have been released.
That means the next answers will have to come from the investigation itself. Until then, the wreck near mile marker 51 stands as a sudden fatal end to a routine drive on one of Florida’s busiest interstates.
