NY Man William Carden ID’d As Victim In Saturday Morning Fatal Palm Coast Crash

PALM COAST, FL. (THECOUNT) — William Carden of Jupiter, FL, has been identified as the victim in a fatal Saturday crash in Palm Coast.

Carden, 37, was killed early Saturday morning when a vehicle he was operating overturned at the Palm Coast Parkway exit with I-95, according to FHP reports.

Florida Highway Patrol says, Carden was driving a Mitsubishi north on I-95 just after 1 a.m., when for unknown reasons, he attempted to perform a “last-second maneuver,” as he “cut off another vehicle by swerving off onto the exit ramp,” the FHP report states.

Carden over-corrected to his left then began to rotate counterclockwise on the grass shoulder, then overturn several times before the car ended on its roof, facing south. The report says it is unknown if Carden was wearing a seatbelt and lists as “pending” whether the crash is alcohol related, reports FlaglerLive.

Carden was pronounced dead at the scene of multiple blunt force trauma injuries.
