SUMTER COUNTY, Fla.- A 47-year-old Miami man was killed in a crash that happened on I-75 around 7:30 pm Monday, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers say two vehicles were traveling northbound on I-75 near milepost 332 in the center and inside lanes. The driver in the center lane failed to keep his SUV in the lane, entered the inside lane, and collided with the right rear of the second vehicle.
The driver overcorrected the SUV and rotated to the outside shoulder, where the vehicle overturned before striking a tree. An unrestrained passenger, a 47-year-old Miami man, was ejected from the SUV and suffered fatal injuries at the crash scene.
The second vehicle, driven by a 41-year-old Pensacola woman, came to a controlled stop along the outside shoulder following the crash.
