Apalachicola man killed in one-car accident

An Apalachicola man was killed in a 1 car accident west of Apalachicola Friday morning.

21 year old Justin Brice Griffin was killed when his Chevy SUV hit a tree near the intersection of highway 98 and County road 30.

The Highway patrol said Mister Griffin was speeding on Highway 98 headed east just after 8 o’clock Friday morning when he failed to negotiate a left hand curve.

His right side tires went off the roadway and he over-corrected throwing the vehicle into a spin.

The vehicle spun across the road and hit a large tree.

Mister Griffin was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Highway patrol said Mister Griffin was not wearing a seat belt – they do not know if the accident was alcohol related.
