The initial investigation revealed the driver of the UTV was traveling eastbound in the 7600 block of Carol Road in Port Tobacco when, for unknown reasons, the UTV left the roadway, struck multiple fixed objects and an embankment, before coming to a stop. The driver of the UTV, age 30, was flown to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. The passenger, Gabrielle Wareham, 27, of Port Tobacco, was pronounced deceased on the scene.
