Kim Montes, public affairs officer for FHP. “The driver has never had a license, so we will factor that into any charges. This is a criminal investigation.” Seminole High School Head Football Coach Eric Lodge wrote on Twitter that he was “heart broken and sick to my stomach” following the news of Wynn’s death. “Please keep the Wynn and ‘Noles Football family in your prayers,” Lodge wrote. “Hug your loved ones.” Grief counselors were available this week at the high school. Principal Dr. Jordan Rodriguez sent out a state- ment to families to report the news. “Zi’Erric was a member of the SHS football family and was beloved by his coaches and teammates,” Rodriguez wrote. Online, the school’s official Facebook page asked people to keep the Wynn family in their thoughts and prayers. “It is with a heavy heart that we share SHS student Zi’Erric Wynn was tragically killed in an auto accident over the weekend,” the post read. Investigators can determine the speed of the Impala even when roads are wet, Montes said Monday. The Sanford area was soaked with heavy rain Sunday. “The vehicle has an [event data recorder] (black box) and the investigator will use the investigation to deter- mine speed,” Montes told the Herald. She said speed limits for roadways are designed for the best conditions, meaning a sunny day with no visi- bility issues. When roads are wet, a driver should travel under the posted speed limit, she explained. “The harder the rain, the slower a driver should trav- el,” Montes advised. Another passenger in the car was unhurt, an FHP report said. That passenger was a 16-year-old who is also from Sanford. The driver sustained minor injuries, the report said. None of the young men had fastened their seatbelts. “It is amazing that the survivors were not seriously injured,” Montes said. PAGE 12 • Midweek: Sept. 23-26, 2020 SANFORD HERALD
