On June 24, 2008, a 21-year-old woman was driving her five-year-old son in a tractor-trailer truck filled with sod on U.S. Route 27 in Minneola, Florida. She was driving behind a dump truck when the dump truck made an improper turn, causing a commercial truck accident.

The woman and her son were both ejected from the semi-truck, and the sod was spilled onto the highway. While the dump truck driver went to check on the boy and his mother, another car hit the boy.

Authorities said the driver of the car, an 18-year-old woman, may face charges of driving under the influence (DWI) after they performed a blood alcohol test. The driver of the semi-truck and her son were airlifted to an area hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the dump truck involved in the truck accident did not suffer from any injuries. The tractor-trailer truck accident is under investigation.
