PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — A Dade City man was killed in a Pasco County crash on Friday after he lost control of the car he was driving, authorities said.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report, the 42-year-old motorist was driving a Toyota Tacoma northbound on the Interstate 275 entrance ramp leading to Interstate 75 at about 6:46 p.m., when, for an unknown reason, he lost control of the vehicle.
The vehicle crossed the gore, overturned and came to rest in the northbound I-75 travel lanes.
The victim, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the vehicle.
He suffered serious injury, and was taken to an area hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
"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.
