Loved ones raise funds for CHS alumni's families

Those who want to help families of Crestview High School alumni Jason Crozier and Ricky Rodriguez, who died in a Sunday car accident in DeFuniak Springs, can fund a youcaring.com account.

CRESTVIEW — Friends of two Crestview High School alumni who died in a weekend car accident hope a youcaring.com account can offset expenses for the men's families.

The accident  happened just before 7 p.m. May 11.

Jason Crozier, who was 27, and Ricardo “Ricky” Rodriguez, who was 28, were heading back to Alabama, where they live and work.

Crozier was driving east on Interstate 10 near the DeFuniak Springs exit when his 2005 Acura drifted into the grassy median, according to the Florida Highway Patrol media release. He overcorrected, traveled back across the eastbound lanes and overturned into the treeline.

Both men were pronounced dead at the scene, the release said. Neither was wearing a seatbelt, according to the report.
