LAKE COUNTY, Florida—A 22-year-old Sanford man was killed Tuesday night in a three-vehicle crash that shut down State Road 44 near Eustis, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The man, who was not wearing his seatbelt, was driving a 2005 Nissan Altima westbound around 6:10 p.m. on State Road 44 near Donna Vista Place when he crossed over the center line and sideswiped a 2014 Honda Accord being driven eastbound by a 30-year-old Sorrento woman, FHP Lt. Tara Crescenzi said in a press release.
The Altima then struck a 2006 Chevy Silverado head-on being driven by a 56-year-old Eustis man. The driver of the Altima was killed, and the driver of the Silverado was seriously injured and airlifted to Central Florida Regional Medical Center in Sanford with non-life-threatening injuries, Crescenzi said. The driver and passenger of the Accord were not injured.
State Road 44 remained shut down at press time.
