POINCIANA, Fla. - A vehicle crash claimed the life of a Kissimmee woman Saturday morning.
According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, Keishly Malave, 30, was traveling north on Country Club Road in Poinciana around 10:30 a.m. As she approached Wedge Lane, deputies say Malave crossed the double yellow lines on the road and began going northbound in the southbound lane to illegally pass a Nissan Altima.
Deputies state she approached the Altima at a high rate of speed and clipped the front left side of the car as she tried to reenter the northbound lane to avoid colliding with oncoming traffic in the southbound lane. Upon impact, deputies say Malave’s vehicle traveled onto the east shoulder sidewalk and struck a concrete pole.
Malave died at the scene. The driver of the Altima was not injured.
The roadway was closed for about four hours following the crash.

Never ceases to amaze me how some people always have to get to their destination "faster", and refuse to move along with traffic like everyone else.
I have had to put on the brakes numerous times for people passing, thinking they could pass 2 or 3 cars, then they have a rough time getting back into their lane and they’re heading straight for me. Some people are absolute maniacs on the road.
Looks like the passenger compartment held up pretty well. Wonder if she was wearing a seat belt.
I’ve had drivers dangerously pass me on curves and hills, etc. When I arrive at the red-light ahead, there they are, ten feet in front of me, waiting at the same red-light they would have been at if they had just stayed behind me. Why do people think they HAVE to be the lead car?
I suppose we should all breath a sigh of relief that, so far at least, Chick-fil-A does not appear to be involved.
Out of my way, you commoner! I didn't get where I am in life by following the rules!
Sorry to hear about the damage to the Altima.
That one appears to have been ALL KINDS of trouble...
RIP.
Well, she was righteously angry. Mickey D’s stopped serving breakfast at 10:30 on the dot and she could not get an Egg McMuffin. So she was heading to her local NAACP office to file a civil rights complaint.
Last person to pass me on a double yellow curve made the oncoming sheriffs deputy swerve out of their way. I expect they had a chat.

I suspect traffic fatalities will spike 2021 and 2022...post COVID. People drive like absolute morons lately
There but for the grace of God go I.
Re: 10 - Knock off the racist crap. Grow up.
Perhaps it is a good thing that she took herself out of the gene pool.
I’ve had people defend the idiots weaving around in traffic recklessly to cut a few seconds off of their time who have said it’s the people driving only a fiver or so over the speed limit and sticking to one lane who are endangering others.
Hours and hours of these on You tube.
