SEBRING - Investigators continue to work an early-morning crash in Highlands County that claimed the life of a Sebring man.
Preliminary reports state that a 1998 Ford passenger car was southbound on Twitty Road at 2:50 a.m., when the driver lost control and crashed into 27 Self Storage, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Driver Jay Amann, 24, and passenger John Cassel, 19, both of Sebring, were taken to Highlands Regional Medical Center. Amann was pronounced dead at 4:05 a.m., and Cassel was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital with serious injuries, the FHP said.
Seat belts were not in use at the time of the accident and whether alcohol was a factor is pending. Total damage to the car was $5,000.
