INVERNESS, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said a man was ejected and killed from his car as it overturned after a car crash in Citrus County on Thursday morning.
FHP said a GMC Sierra, driven by a 29-year-old Inverness man, was traveling southbound on South Apopka Avenue at about 2:30 a.m. on Nov. 27.
A Chevy Silverado, driven by a 28-year-old Inverness man, was traveling westbound on East Harvard Street and at the intersection of the two roadways, failed to yield to and entered the path of the Sierra, per FHP.
Officers said as a result, the Sierra collided with the passenger side door of the Silverado, which overturned and collided with an electrical pole.
FHP said the Silverado driver was not wearing his seatbelt and was ejected from the car as it overturned. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries, per the report.
FHP said the Sierra driver was not injured.
