Man killed in Davenport crash

DAVENPORT, Fla. — The Polk County Sheriff’s Office says a 25-year-old man is dead following a two-vehicle crash Monday afternoon in Davenport.

It happened around 1:45 p.m. at the intersection of County Road 547 and Ernie Caldwell Boulevard, the agency said in a news release.

Deputies say the man was driving a Chevrolet Camaro east on Ernie Caldwell Boulevard while a 39-year-old woman was driving south on CR 547 in a Ford Explorer.
