A routine drive turned fatal for 32-year-old Bradley Wloczewski on Sunday afternoon, March 8, 2026, when his 2003 Chevy Tahoe rolled violently near the airport on Southern Boulevard. The crash has left family, friends, and the community devastated, highlighting the life-saving importance of seatbelt use.

At approximately 5:13 p.m., Bradley’s SUV drifted over a curb, prompting him to try to correct the vehicle’s path. The SUV spun uncontrollably, striking a metal guardrail and flipping multiple times. Because Bradley was not wearing a seatbelt, he was ejected from the vehicle and died instantly on the pavement. His belted passenger, a 29-year-old woman, walked away with minor injuries, underscoring the critical difference a single safety measure can make.

Another passenger, a woman from Tennessee, suffered serious injuries and was rushed to a nearby trauma center for emergency care. The force of the impact was so severe that a portion of the guardrail broke off and struck a different SUV driven by a 41-year-old man, who was fortunately unharmed.

Investigators spent hours at the scene near Perimeter Road in the dark, working to piece together exactly why the vehicle drifted over the curb. The incident is a stark reminder of how quickly everyday situations can turn deadly and how crucial it is to follow basic safety precautions, including wearing a seatbelt.

Family, friends, and the community are left grappling with the sudden and shocking loss of Bradley Wloczewski. His untimely death has sparked conversations about road safety and personal responsibility, as well as a deep sense of sorrow among those who knew and loved him.
