Good morning, Kissimmee.

A Kissimmee motorcyclist was killed on Sunday morning on Pleasant Hill Road when his 2019 Ducati collided with a Nissan Titan after a 61-year-old Poinciana driver turned directly into his path—he was pronounced dead at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital while the other driver was treated for minor injuries and the crash remains under investigation.

A fatal crash occurred at 10:58 a.m. on Pleasant Hill Road and Kinglet Blvd when a Nissan Titan made a left turn into the path of a southbound Ducati—killing the motorcycle rider at Osceola Regional Hospital while the Nissan driver was taken to Poinciana Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

A multi-car crash that began just before 11 a.m. Monday at Big Dan's Car Wash closed Vine Street when 33-year-old Chanel Anderson stole a white Hyundai Sonata and, after a high-speed police chase, collided with a tanker truck — leading to over $20,000 in damage, hospital transport, and her detention at Osceola County Jail on a $5,000 bond.

Kissimmee’s Antra Patel (Medical Assisting) and Celebration’s Jenna Odom (Advertising Design) earned Skill Point Certificates at the 2025 SkillsUSA Championships in Atlanta on June 25-26.

Patel became the first Osceola County student to reach nationals as industry leaders from 850 groups judged more than 6,500 participants.

Governor Ron DeSantis appointed longtime Osceola County leader Tim Weisheyer to the Florida State University Board of Trustees, effective August 30 — his appointment is subject to confirmation by the Florida Senate.

Weisheyer, a business professional who leads Dream Builders Realty and serves as President of the Florida Realtors Association, brings broad experience in community and educational service.

Today, the Florida Department of Transportation launches Operation Southern Slow Down 2025 in partnership with Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and the Highway Patrol— a week-long multi-state effort to enforce speed limits and educate drivers on reducing speed-related crashes.

The campaign will run in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee to help lower traffic fatalities.

Kissimmee Utility Authority appointed Richard Mark Flury as vice president of Engineering and Operations today, bringing over 25 years of engineering experience.

He will manage key divisions such as transmission and distribution, GIS, substation maintenance, materials management, fleet operations, SCADA, relay and dispatch + report to KUA President Brian Horton.
