The Collier County
Sheriff’s Office is taking steps to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities after
two people died in separate crashes at busy North Naples intersections.
A
76-year-old woman was killed in a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of
Livingston Road and Orange Blossom Drive on Nov. 11. A 75-year-old woman was
killed in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Airport-Pulling Road and
Orange Blossom Drive on Nov. 4. The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating
both crashes.
In response
to these fatalities, CCSO has begun a special traffic enforcement initiative
focused on aggressive driving and speed in the areas of Airport-Pulling Road,
Livingston Road, Vanderbilt Beach Road and Orange Blossom Drive.
“We will be
using marked patrol units, unmarked patrol units, “ghost” vehicles, and marked
police motorcycles all using radar and laser speed-measuring devices,” said Lt.
Mike Dolan of the CCSO Safety Traffic Enforcement Bureau.
