UCF student hit boy wrong-way driver
A University of Central Florida student is recovering in the hospital after a wrong-way driver hit him and his Uber driver head-on Interstate-4. Four people were hurt in the Seminole County crash that happened shortly before 7:30 a.m. Sunday on westbound I-4 near the Central Parkway Bridge in Altamonte Springs.
FOX 35 spoke with Sandra Frutchey in November. She told us Marcus' friends told her Marcus was adamant about not taking an Uber at 2 a.m. over Halloween weekend. He thought taking one at 7 a.m. would be safer on the roads.
Sandra woke up to an alert on her phone at 7:22 a.m. from Life 360. It told her something might have happened to her son and she should check on him. Marcus was admitted to the trauma unit.
Sandra told FOX 35 Marcus has a long road to recovery, but she's just glad he's alive.
