There is a Ford Expedition, dark in color, sitting on the sidewalk near the entrance of Wekiwa Springs State Park this morning , with yellow crime tape wrapped around it, and the front end is totaled, and front wheels twisted, and are messed up. I suspect it was stolen and joy rode, and wrecked. Don't know, but that is what I think happened. All too common around these parts.
