Osceola County, FL (September 24, 2019) - A 56-year-old man from Orlando was killed when he was struck by a vehicle on Orange Blossom Trail. The crash took place just after midnight on Tuesday, September 24th.
According to police reports, the man had just been released from the hospital for an unknown reason when he tried to cross the road from west to east. As he crossed, he was hit by a southbound vehicle. The man was then thrown into the northbound lanes where he was struck by a second vehicle. The driver of the second vehicle fled the scene and the pedestrian was pronounced dead from his injuries. There is no immediate description of the vehicles.
The crash caused the road to close for several hours while an investigation was ongoing. The identity of the victim has not been released at this time.
