A father and son were killed in a fiery crash on the afternoon of Christmas Eve on State Road 46 in Lake County.
A 49-year-old Eustis man was driving a sedan at 1:25 p.m. westbound on State Road 46 near State Road 429 when an eastbound sport utility vehicle driven by a 21-year-old Summerfield man traveled into the westbound lanes and struck the front, left side of the sedan, according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
