A Florida man has been killed and another critically injured after the driver of a passing car sneezed and crashed into them, police said.
Victor Aguiar, 56, and Oscar Cristo Gomez, 28, were pushing a broken down Dodge Magnum along Haverhill Road in Greenacres at around 2 a.m. on Saturday when Shawn Gruber, 27, struck the pair, pinning them between the two vehicles.
Gruber told police he sneezed as he was driving and only saw the disabled car when he opened his eyes, at which point it was too late.
