News-Sun staff
SEBRING - Lewis Beck, a former sales associate of the News-Sun, was killed Monday afternoon at County Road 17 and Tranquility Lane.
According to Florida Highway Patrol reports, Dakota S. Keys, 21, of Sebring was driving a 2013 Kia Soul south on County Road 17, just south of Tranquility Lane at about 1:17 p.m. For unknown reasons, Keys failed to maintain a single lane and drove into the northbound lane and into the path of the 1991 Mazda Miata being driven by Beck, 58.
The front right of the Soul struck the front of the Miata. After impact, both vehicles began to rotate before coming to a final rest.
Beck worked at the News-Sun in 2011, servicing accounts in Lake Placid.
