A 2002 Honda Civic was traveling eastbound on SR-104 at an unknown speed and a 2016 Dodge Ram was traveling westbound SR-104 at an unknown speed. Witnesses on scene related that the Honda was accelerating at a high speed, passing across solid double yellow lines and traveling wrong-way through a curve, which ended up resulting in a head-on crash between the Honda and the Dodge.
