An early Saturday morning crash claimed the life of a Lakeland man.
At around 2:13 a.m. Saturday, the Polk County Sheriff s Communications Center received a 911 call regarding a crash involving a single vehicle on Galloway Road, north of Hawks Ridge Drive in Lakeland.
First responders discovered Colby Holtz, 27 of Lakeland, deceased on the scene. A front-seat passenger, Dylan Still, 27 of Lakeland, was located still in the car. Still was taken to Lakeland Regional Health Center with a cut to his forehead and was listed in stable condition.
The preliminary report states that Holtz was driving a Ford Taurus west on Galloway Road at a high speed when he failed to navigate a curve north of Hawks Ridge Drive. The car went off the west side of the road heading south where it hit a guidewire, which sent it into a tree, a chain link fence and down an embankment before coming to rest in the backyard of 3300 Hawks Ridge Drive.
