HIGHLANDS COUNTY, Fla. — A Sebring man was killed in a Highlands County crash on Saturday after he was thrown from the vehicle, authorities said.
The 35-year-old victim was driving a sedan-type vehicle southbound on Panther Parkway, south of Memorial Drive, at about 9:55 p.m.
While negotiating a curve on the roadway, he lost control of the car, which rotated and then overturned, according to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) report.
The victim, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle, troopers said.
He was taken to an area hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The crash remains under investigation.
"I felt like it was really strong-arm robbery."
Drivers hit with school bus camera fines in Polk County are frustrated that they must first pay more before appealing their ticket.
