JUPITER, Florida — A 25-year-old man from Palm Beach Gardens was killed Sunday night in a single-vehicle crash on Pratt Whitney Road, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies reported that Chase Cole was driving a Volkswagen Jetta westbound in the 1500 block of Pratt Whitney Road at approximately 9:32 p.m. when the crash occurred.
Preliminary findings indicate that as the roadway curved to the right, the vehicle continued straight for unknown reasons, leaving the roadway and entering the grassy shoulder.
After departing the roadway, the vehicle struck multiple trees, resulting in severe damage. Investigators noted that no other vehicles were involved in the crash.
Authorities also stated that impairment due to drugs or alcohol is not believed to be a contributing factor at this time.
Responders from Palm Beach County Fire Rescue arrived shortly after the crash and pronounced Cole dead at the scene at approximately 9:46 p.m.
The crash remains under active investigation as authorities work to determine the exact cause, including potential factors such as speed, roadway conditions, or mechanical issues.
Officials urge drivers to remain attentive, especially on curved roadways at night, as investigations into the fatal Jupiter crash continue.
