A tragic traffic crash that took place on January 27th, 2023 has resulted in the death of a local resident, Joseph Maurice Leo Rivard. The crash occurred at approximately 1:45 PM near the intersection of South Park Avenue and Main Street.
According to the Titusville Police Department, who is conducting the investigation, Rivard was driving a white 2016 Cadillac SRX and traveling westbound on Main Street when he failed to fully stop at the intersection.
