Florida Highway Patrol reported three fatal auto accidents between Saturday and Monday morning.

Just after midnight Saturday, a 38-year-old Orlando man was traveling on County Road 532 near Sandy Oak Drive when, for an unknown reason according to FHP, his pickup truck traveled off the road, struck a drainage culvert, overturned then struck a tree. The driver was ejected. He was later pronounced dead at ChampionsGate Emergency.

On Sunday at 12:30 p.m., a 76-year-old St. Cloud woman was killed when she turned left onto Nova Road, and her Buick Encore turned into the path of a westbound Hyundai Santa Fe, which struck the right side of the Buick. The woman later died at St. Cloud Hospital from her injuries, and the other driver and two other passengers were reportedly in serious condition, FHP said.

And on Monday morning at 7:25, the driver of a Honda Accord, a 56- year old man, suffered a medical episode at the corner of Johnson and Garden Street (behind the 7-11 at Orange Blossom Trail and Osceola Parkway), left the roadway and came to rest against a fence. The driver later died at Osceola Regional Medical Center, per FHP reports.
