The Florida Highway Patrol has released the names of two men killed Monday when they were struck by an out-of-control car as they walked in the emergency parking lane of I-95 south of Delray Beach.
A highway patrol spokesman said James Franklin Konvicka, 34, of El Campo, Tex., and James Arthur Monagon, 42, of Sheffield, Ohio, were killed instantly when a motorist lost control of his car in the northbound lane of I-95 about three-quarters of a mile south of Atlantic Blvd. The car veered into the parking lane, hit the two men, then hit a light pole and a parked FHP patrol car before stopping.
