A 63-year-old man and his 27-year-old son have died in a rollover crash that authorities say was caused by a separated tire.
Florida Highway Patrol authorities said in a news release that Saint Augustine residents Michael Bradford and his son Warren Bradford were in a Ford pickup truck on Interstate 95 around 3 p.m. Thursday when the front left tire had a tread separation.
The report says Michael Bradford lost control of the vehicle, which ran off the road, struck a culvert and went airborne before overturning.
The truck's roof hit a tree, and, ultimately, both men were pronounced dead at the scene. They were the vehicle’s only occupants, and both were wearing seat belts, according to the highway patrol.
An investigation is continuing.
