SOUTH BAY — A 36-year-old man died Sunday, 13 days after the driver of his car possibly fell asleep in a crash in South Bay, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said Monday.
Lincoln Strachan, of Davenport Fla., in Polk County, was the passenger in a 2012 Hyundai Accent driven by George Lawson, 41, of Altamone Springs, traveling northbound on U.S. 27.
