HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — A Weeki-Wachee man was killed in an early Sunday morning crash after the impact ejected him from the vehicle, authorities said.
The 23-year-old victim was driving a Toyota Tundra westbound on State Road 50 in Hernando County at about 12:42 a.m.
West of U.S. Highway 19, the man failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
The Tundra went to the north shoulder of the highway and struck a utility pole. It then came back across the roadway to the south shoulder and overturned.
The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle as it overturned, the report stated.
He was taken an area hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
In less than two months, more than 100 people have contacted the ABC Action News I-Team, saying they are stuck waiting on unemployment benefits and are growing more desperate by the day.
