A head-on collision on State Road 44 in Lake County left a Eustis man dead Friday afternoon.
The crash took place near Tomahawk Trail around 1:40 p.m. when a 2006 Dodge van driven by 36-year-old Joseph Miller, of Eustis, collided head-on with a 2012 Dodge SUV driven by 64-year-old Elizabeth Michaud, also of Eustis. Edgar Michaud, 86, a passenger in the SUV, was pronounced dead at Central Florida Regional Hospital in Sanford after the crash, a Florida Highway Patrol report states.
