Abigail Fayth Rayleen Semons Killed in Car Accident on SE 92nd Loop West of Southeast 96th Place Road, Florida, on October 16, 2026

Abigail Fayth Rayleen Semons, 21, died in a car crash on SE 92nd Loop west of Southeast 96th Place Road in Florida on Friday, October 16, 2026. According to a Florida Highway Patrol crash report, Semons was driving a sedan westbound shortly after 7:35 a.m. when the vehicle went out of control. The car crossed the grassy center median and the eastbound lanes before continuing into an empty retention pond and the south grass shoulder. Semons was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene. Troopers classified the incident as a single-vehicle crash and listed the cause as unknown. Another driver's involvement has not been confirmed. Semons' grandmother, Linda Holmes Clifford, has publicly questioned whether another vehicle played a role. Clifford said witnesses described a red car driving aggressively near Semons before the crash. Those statements remain the family's account, rather than an official finding about what caused the wreck. Clifford also said Semons was speaking by phone with her fiancé, Landon Rarick, and had told him another driver was targeting her vehicle shortly before the crash. According to Clifford, Rarick heard an impact during the call. Distraction has not been established as a cause. The family is asking anyone who saw the crash or has relevant dashcam footage to come forward. Clifford said investigators were reviewing traffic-camera recordings and security footage from nearby homes. Semons, an Ocala resident, was nearing completion of an accelerated nursing program. Her grandmother said she had graduated from high school early and was preparing to become a registered nurse. She had also recently qualified to buy her first home and was planning a February 20, 2027, wedding.
