Two surveyors from Volusia County were killed Friday in a hit-and-run crash when they were struck by a semi-truck as they walked along the shoulder of Interstate 95 in Brevard County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
A 22-year-old Enterprise man and a 41-year-old Deltona man died in the crash, which happened about 9:50 a.m. at mile marker 172 southbound on Interstate 95, the FHP stated.
The semi's driver, Hassan Abdirahman Sheikh Ali, 36, of Charlotte, North Carolina, was arrested and charged with two counts of hit and run involving death.
