Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol responded to the crash scene. The accident occurred when the dump truck's tire separated from the vehicle, causing the truck to leave the roadway. According to Lt. Channing Taylor, the truck likely suffered a tire malfunction which led to the crash. The man, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene. No other vehicles were involved in the accident.  A Good Samaritan was hurt attempting to rescue the driver but is expected to survive his injuries.

Losing a loved one to a Florida car accident is a devastating experience.  Fatal crashes are reported, on average, every three hours across our state.  While many crashes are due to the negligence of a driver, some accidents happen as a result of mechanical failure or defects.  Tire blowouts are one example of such mechanical failures. There are many questions that must be answered when a mechanical or equipment failure causes a crash.  It is important to determine why the failure occurred and to identify all individuals or entities who could be responsible for the resulting crash.
