PORT ST. JOE -- A Georgia man was killed late Friday night when the vehicle he was driving ran off U.S. 98 in Gulf County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
According to FHP, a Lexus driven by Glenn S. Tompkins was traveling west on U.S. 98 at about 11 p.m. when the driver lost control of his vehicle. The Lexus began to rotate as it traveled off the road and hit two palm trees.
The Lexus then struck a GMC Yukon parked at a residence, causing the Yukon to hit one of the support posts holding up a residence, which is a beach house on stilts.
Tompkins was pronounced dead at the scene by Gulf County EMS. Passenger Christopher Watkins, also from Georgia, was taken to Bay Medical Center Sacred Heart Health System, where he is listed in stable condition.
The crash is still under investigation.
