Staff Report

 A 59-year-old Monticello man, Stephen Walker, was killed Sunday afternoon in a car crash at the intersection of Spring Creek and Highway 98. Walker was a county commissioner in Jefferson County.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, just before 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 29, Walker was driving west on Highway 98 in an SUV when a pickup truck driven by a 31-year-old Tallahassee man failed to stop at the stop sign and hit the SUV.
“Both drivers were transported to TMH where (Walker) was pronounced deceased,” according to the FHP report.
Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office and Wakulla Fire-Rescue also responded to the crash.
The Community Traffic Safety Team has pronounced the Spring Creek-Highway 98 intersection as the most dangerous intersection in Wakulla County. There was a fatal crash several months ago in which two women in a car were killed when another car failed to stop.
