Posted by Pauline Rute Hall 1952 - Annette Brown Hendry entered into rest on Sunday, June 21, 2009 in Palm Beach, Fla. She succumbed to injuries from an automobile accident. ST. LUCIE COUNTY — A 48-year-old Apopka woman who died following a Sunday crash on Florida’s Turnpike has been identified as Annette Hendry, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Hendry was a passenger in a 2009 Jeep that was northbound on the turnpike about 3:22 p.m. In the outside right lane when the incident occurred, an FHP release states. A northbound 1994 Dodge pick-up truck in the same lane as the Jeep experienced a “left rear tire failure,” sending tire debris into the inside through lane and slowing traffic. A 1999 Chrysler Sebring driven by a 28-year-old Viera woman failed to identify slowing traffic because of driver error and swerved into the Jeep’s path. That caused the Jeep to swerve to avoid a collision. The Sebring went airborne in the shoulder and ended up in a ditch. The Jeep, driven by Fredrick Hendry, 48, also went airborne and crashed into an embankment head on. The Chrysler, which also carried a passenger, and Jeep didn’t collide during the incident. The pick-up driver wasn’t hurt, while the Chrysler occupants and Fredrick Hendry sustained injuries described in the FHP release as “non-incapacitating.” Annette Hendry was pronounced dead at Lawnwood Regional Medical Center & Heart Institute in Fort Pierce. The crash remains under investigation and charges have not been filed.
