Floridians trying to protect wildlife lead to serious wrecks

People trying to look out for the welfare of wildlife did not fare well on Florida highways this week.

In Collier County, Steven Lee Purdy of Cape Coral died Monday night when his car was struck by another car trying to avoid an alligator crossing the road.

And in  Broward County, 44-year-old Laura Latuszynski of Weston was seriously injured Sunday evening when she stopped to help a duck. Another car then struck her parked vehicle, then hit Latuszynski.
