Deputies said the car hit a tree after leaving the roadway at a curve in the road. Officials said the crash was so severe, it separated the engine from the frame of the car.
"There are very few car parts that are continuing to exist in a particular place," Chuck Mulligan of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office said. "The engine is dislodged from the vehicle. So again, a significant amount of impact with this crash.”
