Seminole County, FL (April 14, 2019) - A man from DeBary died on Friday, April 12th when he was hit by a car while standing outside his vehicle on Interstate 4. The crash happened around 11:40 p.m.
According to reports, Joshua Cherry was outside of his 2009 Chevy SUV, which was parked at the end of the Lake Mary Boulevard exit ramp.
