The Florida Highway Patrol says a man and his wife were killed Friday night south of Havana in a DUI accident.
FHP says 30-year-old Johnny Broach of Havana and his wife and daughter were stopped in the median of U.S. 27 near the intersection with County Road 159 when their Pontiac sedan was rear-ended by a Dodge Ram truck. Troopers say 62-year-old Larry Yeomans of Quincy was driving that truck when he drifted into the median and slammed into the Broach's car. Johnny Broach and his wife, 26-year-old Leslie Broach, were taken to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital but did not survive. Their 8-year-old daughter did survive the wreck. FHP says Yeomans was taken into custody and faces two counts of DUI manslaughter.

If anyone was at the scene and met the driver of the trucks family and know them they know that the whole family are drunks and drug users. THe information i have comes first hand from the family and from being at the scene of the accident within seconds of it happeng. the driver of the truck was more interested in finding his dog than caring if he had killed someon. GOd will take care of him even if he does beet some of the chargs by havng people lie about/for him.
