MARION COUNTY, Fla. – A 59-year-old Dunnellon man was killed in a crash Thursday evening while driving a pickup truck in Marion County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The crash occurred around 6:24 p.m. on County Road 225A near NW 110th Street, troopers said.

According to an FHP crash report, the truck was traveling northbound on CR-225A when it began to negotiate a left curve in the roadway. The pickup traveled off the roadway and onto the right grass shoulder, where it continued traveling north and over a private driveway before returning to the shoulder and striking an electrical box, the report states.

The truck continued north into a grassy ditch before hitting multiple tree branches and, eventually, a standing tree, causing the pickup to rotate and overturn, troopers said.

The man was partially ejected out of the driver’s window as the truck overturned onto its roof, according to the report. The vehicle came to final rest on its roof in the grassy ditch to the right of the roadway, facing east, the report states. Troopers believe the driver was not wearing a seat belt during the crash.

A paramedic with Marion County Fire Rescue pronounced the man dead at 6:37 p.m., according to FHP.
