Three Local Softball Team Members Killed In Florida Traffic Crash

Three of the five members of a Columbus-area softball team who crashed in Panama City, Florida over the weekend have died. The latest happened Sunday, when the Florida Highway Patrol says 29-year-old William Gouge the Second died of injuries sustained in the crash. The patrol says the players were heading to the World Softball Championships when their van was hit by a pickup truck that ran a stop sign. Two players remain hospitalized, along with both people in the pickup truck.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
