Residents near 1068 Sokokis Trail were jolted from their routines around 10:32 a.m. by the piercing sirens of first responders. Witnesses described a horrific scene where a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee had crossed the center line, colliding head-on with a 2013 GMC Pickup truck.

The man behind the wheel of the Jeep, identified as 35-year-old Joshua Gochie from nearby Limerick, suffered fatal injuries. Heartbreakingly, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Joshua's sudden passing has deeply affected the close-knit community.
