OAKLAND, FL -- A Florida Highway Patrol trooper apparently missed a dead body lying near the road during a crash investigation.

According to FHP, the unidentified trooper was responding to reports of an abandoned car on Interstate 95 in Oakland Park. He investigated the crash scene but did not see the body and had the car towed.

A wrecker company contacted the car's owner on Tuesday. The woman said she didn't know her car was in an accident and that her boyfriend was missing.

She found his body in a ditch when she stopped by the crash scene that night. The victim was identified as 29-year-old Delvin Lewis.

3. That happed to a guy I knew in Florida a long time ago..

He went searching around the crash site after the fact and found one of his son's boots sticking up out of the mud, son was attached but completely under the mud.

He'd already lost his other son to a car crash too.
