CALLAHAN, Fla. -- One man was killed and a second critically injured Thursday morning when a tree fell on their car on U.S. Highway 1 in Nassau County.

This was the most recent of seven deaths in Florida blamed on Tropical Storm Fay.

Roberto Constantino, 27, of Tiajuana, Mexico, died after the maple tree fell on a 1998 Saturn driven by Sergio Constantino, 19, about 9:45 a.m. Both were transported to Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center, where the older victim died.

Two other people died in traffic fatalities in Jacksonville that were blamed on the weather, one died in a traffic crash in south Florida, two people drowned in rough surf and one man died of carbon monoxide poisoning from an unventilated generator.
