Both victims were transported to a local hospital, but one man, identified as Charles Morris Sr., 55, Riviera Beach, died from his injuries.

“He was the greatest dad you could ever ask for,” said Charles Morris Jr., who still does not know exactly how his dad was killed in the accident.

His father was trying to entertain children, grandchildren and neighbors in the Lone Pine Estates subdivision in Riviera Beach.

“It’s just hard on the family, like, we’re speechless. There’s no words to express what’s going on,” Charles Morris Jr. said.
