ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. - WELLINGTON — A Wellington man is in critical condition following a late Thursday night accident, according the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
Richard L. Incandela, 27, was taken to Delray Medical Center after his 2006 Subaru caught fire following a collision with a 1995 Ford dump truck, a sheriff's office report released this morning says.
The report indicates that Incandela may have been under the influence of either alcohol or drugs, but the investigation into the accident is ongoing.
According to the report, 57-year-old Luis O. Soca of West Palm Beach, was driving north in the 200 block of State Road 7 around 11:43 p.m. when Incandela, who was also travelling north in the same lane, approached the dump truck from behind.
Incandela's car began speeding up, "when for unknown reasons it failed to take evasive action to avoid a collision" with the dump truck, the report says.
The front of Incandela's Subaru struck the lower rear of the dump truck and came to a final stop in the road "a short distance from the area of the collision, where (the Subaru) was briefly on fire."
According to the report, Incandela was transported to Delray Medical, where he remains in critical condition.
His next of kin has been notified.
