A fiery crash on an Interstate 4 exit ramp in Volusia County left one person dead on Monday morning.
According to a preliminary report from the Florida Highway Patrol, a car was traveling eastbound on I-4, approaching the overpass for State Road 44 on the exit ramp for 118B (New York Avenue), at around 3:20 a.m. on Monday, February 3.
