The Florida Highway Patrol reported that George Anthony, Casey Anthony’s father, ran off the road and overturned his car in a collision near Daytona Beach that rendered him unconscious and rendered the vehicle undrivable.
Anthony admitted to the responding trooper that he could not recall the events leading up to the collision. According to the trooper’s report, Anthony may have been sick or dizzy.
Just after 3 p.m. on Saturday, Anthony, 67, was traveling west on Interstate 4 near State Road 44 when, according to the FHP report, he drove off the shoulder of the road.
Anthony Attempted To Veer Left
The report states that Anthony attempted to veer left and get back into the road but lost control and “began to tumble multiple times.
According to the complaint, the green 1999 Toyota 4Runner 4D owned by his wife Cindy ultimately came to rest off the median shoulder on the opposite side of the street.
With “incapacitating” wounds, Anthony, riding alone in the car, was transferred to Halifax Medical Center. The report stated there was no indication of drug or alcohol use.
The 4Runner was rendered inoperable and sustained damage worth an estimated $10,500.
What Happened Ten Years Before?
More than ten years ago, Cindy Anthony and George were catapulted into the public front when his daughter Casey Anthony was accused of murder when their 2-year-old granddaughter Caylee went missing near their Orlando home.
When George Anthony attempted suicide by overdose in 2009, Daytona Beach police intervened after receiving a 9-1-1 call from the attorney for the Anthony family.
On South Ridgewood Avenue, the Hawaii Motel was the scene of the event.
What Did Cindy Anthony Explain To The Police?
According to the police report, Cindy Anthony explained to detectives at the time that her husband was unhappy and depressed over the passing of their grandchild.
She claimed that she had asked him to choose some jewelry for Caylee for her funeral the day before he vanished. She claimed the request might have irritated him even more.
Defense attorneys for Casey testified that Caylee drowned accidentally and that George assisted in covering up the demise during the trial, which lasted for some days and captivated the nation’s attention.
Casey Anthony’s account was changed numerous times during the inquiry and prosecution.
In the year 2011, Casey Anthony’s murder conviction was overturned, but she was seen guilty of lying to the police.
Later interviews revealed that she doesn’t communicate with her father.
