The Tavares community joined together in mourning to pay tribute to a two-year-old boy whose life was cut tragically short in a vehicular incident. At a private vigil held on Friday night, sorrow and solidarity wove together as residents and first responders remembered the young victim. The latter included the very members of the Tavares Police and Fire Departments who had responded to the fatal crash scene, as detailed by a WFTV report.
The neighborhood was filled with sadness and memories after a tragic accident. A young child was killed in a crash on Monday night. Authorities say 19-year-old Joshua Aidan Montero, who was driving the vehicle, might have been drunk. The details are still being investigated. The child was riding his bike in front of his home and succumbed to injuries later at the hospital, as WESH reports confirmed.
Arrested and charged with DUI manslaughter, Montero is currently being held with no bond. The aftermath of this tragedy has rippled through the Tavares community, prompting an outpouring of support for the bereaved family, including the establishment of a GoFundMe page to aid them during this harrowing time.
