Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the trial court's non-final order denying the defendant Allied Systems, Ltd.'s motion to transfer venue to Flagler County. This action arose out of a motor vehicle collision in Flagler County that resulted in the death of Jessica Kaufman. Here, the deceased was a resident of Bro-ward County and her surviving mother and father are residents of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, respectively. We conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in determining that venue is proper in Miami-Dade County. See Hyatt Corp. v. Howarth, 678 So.2d 823, 824 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996) (The trial court abuses its discretion " 'only where no reasonable [person] would take the view adopted by the trial court.' ") (quoting Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So.2d 1197 (Fla.1980)).
Affirmed.
