A small east Orange County community continues to try to make sense of a crash that killed a woman and her grandson and left two other members of her family hospitalized.
- Church remembers family killed in crash in Bithlo
- Linda McCormick and 13-year-old grandson killed in crash
- Two other McCormick family members seriously injured
- Driver of BMW also killed in crash
Three people died on State Road 50 in Bithlo on Saturday afternoon when a man driving a BMW "aggressively" lost control of the car, which flipped over on top of Linda McCormick's Toyota pickup, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
The BMW slid off the top of the truck and came to rest upside down, and the pickup slammed into a fence, troopers said.
McCormick; her 13-year-old grandson, Dylon; and the Orlando man driving the BMW were killed. Teddy and Carl McCormick, two other passengers in the pickup, were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical and serious condition, respectively.
The McCormick family has lived in Christmas for more than 40 years. Now, people at the Church of God — the family's church — are in mourning.
"She [Linda] was not just a good member of the church, she was a good member of the community," Pastor J.D. Simmons said.
"All of those decorations that you see were Linda's handy work. All of it," Simmons said.
"He was very loving, giving, every person that was in that church gets a hug from Dylon," family friend Anna Johnson said.
"They were in several programs, and they were just a wonderful family and we loved them," Assistant Pastor Oliver Jones said.
The BMW driver has not yet been identified.
