Lake County, FL (June 29, 2018) – A 24-year-old man was killed when he was partially ejected from his vehicle and then pinned under it during a crash that happened on the Florida Turnpike. The Florida Highway Patrol investigated.
A man from Ocala was driving his Hyundai Sonata around 4:50 a.m. on the highway. He suddenly left the roadway for unknown reasons and overcorrected. This caused his vehicle to overturn.
The driver was not wearing a seatbelt at the time. He was partially ejected and pinned under his vehicle. He died at the scene of the accident. However, at this time, his name has not been released.
There were photographs from the scene that showed an extensively damaged sedan in the median.
