1 /5 Mattie Aikens: Subject: Incident Report and Concern Regarding Employee Behavior
Dear AdventHealth Daytona Beach
I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to formally report an incident that occurred on Friday, March 7, 2025, between approximately 2:50 PM and 3:40 PM, while I was traveling on US 1 and merging onto Interstate 95 South.
During my merge behind a box truck, a GMC truck rushed up behind me. As I continued onto Interstate 95 South and merged into the fast lane, the GMC truck remained in the slow lane for some time before accelerating and colliding with my vehicle three times. I was adhering to the speed limit and was unable to match his speed, which seemed to escalate his frustration.
After the incident, I activated my OnStar service, and the driver of the GMC truck exited at Exit 268. During my call, I followed him to his workplace, AdventHealth Daytona Beach, located at 301 Memorial Medical Pkwy, Daytona Beach, FL 32117. When he exited his vehicle, he claimed that I was harassing him and attempted to speak with security.
The Florida Highway Patrol arrived and conducted an investigation; however, they did not issue the driver a ticket or make an arrest. I am particularly concerned about the conduct of the driver, identified as RO Herbent Lorentz, who appeared to lie about the incident.
Moreover, during my time at AdventHealth Daytona Beach, I encountered Nurse Renee, who was quite unpleasant in her demeanor, in stark contrast to the security staff, who were helpful and supportive. As someone who was nearly placed in a life-threatening situation due to aggressive and reckless driving, I find it troubling that an individual with Mr. Lorentzs behavior is employed by your organization, especially given the high-stakes environment of a healthcare facility.
My family and I are deeply shaken by this experience, and I felt it necessary to bring this situation to your attention, not only for my own sake but for the safety of others who may encounter this individual in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to read my email. I hope to hear back regarding any actions that may be taken in response to this incident.
Security guard
DJ, Phillips and other was nice but DJ was getting little bit aggressive at the end of the night.
Sincerely,
