An elderly Palmetto man has been identified as the person killed in a Wednesday crash in Englewood.

75-year old John Hardy lost control of his SUV last Wednesday at the intersection of Dearborn Street and Stratford Road.

According to the FHP, Hardy was trying to turn onto Dearbor, but instead crashed into a tree as he got through the intersection.

He was taken to Englewood Community Hospital where he was pronounced dead. His passenger, a 72-year old woman, had only minor injuries.
