A 52-year-old man was fatally ejected from his vehicle after he lost control and drove off an Orange County roadway.
The fatal accident took place near the intersection of Nova Road and State Road 520 at around 8:46 p.m. on Saturday, November 11, according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
The man, who was from Merritt Island, was driving a 2008 Chevy Silverado northbound on Nova Road, approaching the roadway’s intersection with SR 520.
For unknown reasons, the driver failed to maintain control of the vehicle while negotiating a right-hand curve.
As a result, the vehicle traveled off the right side of the roadway.
The driver overcorrected to the left and the vehicle began overturning, according to police.
As the vehicle was overturning, the driver was ejected from the vehicle. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.
