Mr. Bergmann's PT Cruise in the median.

For the second time in just over one year, an out-of-state motorist died while exiting Interstate 10 onto US 90 west of Sanderson.

The intersection onto a four-lane stretch of US 90 from the eastbound lane of the interstate has long been considered treacherous both because of limited vision and a confusing configuration — particularly to drivers who exit to the nearby Citgo station.

In other eerily similar coincidences, the driver who lost his life the afternoon of July 14 was struck broadside by a pickup truck towing a cattle trailer, and both of them were driven by men from Glen St. Mary.

Last week’s victim was identified as Paul R. Bergmann, 57, of Grinnell, Iowa. He was alone in his 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser and wearing a seat belt.

Trooper A. Cummings of the Florida Highway Patrol said Mr. Bertmann appears to have stopped at the end of the exit ramp, then pulled into the path of a westbound 1997 Ford F250 driven by Willie B. Wynn, 60, of Glen. He received minor injuries and was also restrained by a seat belt.

The Cruiser was demolished by the impact and pushed into the ditch off the westbound lane. The truck and trailer crossed US 90 after the crash and stopped on the south shoulder of US 90 just west of the interchange.

The accident happened at 4:30 pm and Mr. Bergmann was the sixth person to die on Baker County roads in 2010.

It marked the second fatal accident in the same vicinity of the west county in less than one week. The morning of July 11, a head-on crash on US 90 just west of there took the life of a 15-year-old Lake City youth who was at the wheel without a license.

The similar accident on April 29, 2009 took the life of a 79-year-old woman from West Monroe, LA. She was a passenger in a car driven by her husband.

Based on a count by the Florida Department of Transportation last year, at least 15 accidents have occurred at US 90 and I-10 since 2003 when the state began counting. Twenty people have been injured plus the two fatalities.
