Fatal West Palm Beach crash death of Gaspar Lopez Hernandez – Obituary.
A tragic crash occurred on the morning of December 4, 2024, when a box truck collided with an SUV near South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach. The crash involved an Isuzu truck traveling west on East Summa Street and a GMC Yukon SUV heading north on South Dixie Highway. The force of the impact caused both the driver and passenger in the truck to be ejected, as neither was wearing a seatbelt.
The two men from the box truck were rushed to St. Mary’s Medical Center, but despite efforts, 24-year-old Gaspar Lopez Hernandez, of Indiantown, was pronounced dead. The other man remains in critical condition. Fortunately, the driver of the SUV was unharmed.
The crash caused the closure of South Dixie Highway for several hours while investigators worked at the scene. Authorities have not filed any charges, and the highway has since been reopened. Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the victims during this difficult time.
