The Ormond Beach Police Department's report on the 3/25 traffic fatality incident involving WWE Hall of Famer Tammy "Sunny" Sytch notes that two different witnesses to the crash reported Sytch's car traveling at a "high rate of speed" before crashing into a stopped vehicle after Sytch failed to stop. The driver of that vehicle then crashed into a third vehicle. The driver of the second vehicle passed away after being rushed to the hospital. The driver and passengers of the third vehicle were not hospitalized but all complained of neck, back, side and head injuries. All three cars involved were towed from the scene.
