According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the man was driving a pickup truck, traveling north on County Road 225A.

The vehicle continued in a northern direction and traveled over a private driveway before returning to the right grass shoulder where it struck an electrical box.
After the impact, the vehicle continued traveling north into a grassy ditch before striking numerous tree branches.

As the truck overturned, the driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was partially ejected out of the driver’s window.
The truck came to rest, on its roof, facing east, within the grassy ditch on the right side of the roadway.
At 6:37 p.m., the driver was pronounced deceased, on the scene of the crash, by Joseph Bush, a paremedic with Marion County Fire Rescue.
