A 32-year-old Ocoee man was killed after being ejected from his car during a crash on Interstate 10, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The wreck happened shortly after 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 7 at mile marker 262 in Madison County.
A red Mazda sedan was heading east when it ran into the back of a trailer towed by a pickup truck, a news release said.
That “caused the trailer to become detached from the pickup,” the release said.
“The trailer and UTV (utility terrain vehicle) on the trailer both overturned and came to rest in the center median,” it added. “… (The) sedan traveled onto the south shoulder and overturned, ejecting the driver.”
The driver of the Mazda – who was not wearing a seatbelt – was taken to Madison County Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, FHP said.
The driver and passenger in the pickup were not hurt. FHP does not identify crash victims in news releases.
Troopers were assisted on scene by the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, Madison County EMS and Madison County Fire Rescue.
An investigation is ongoing.
