He lost control of his vehicle, traveled into the center median and overturned. His car landed in the eastbound lanes, on top of a pickup truck driven by a 65-year-old Homosassa man.
The driver of the overturned vehicle was pronounced dead on the scene; the other gentleman was transported to Osceola Regional Medical Center and was in serious condition at last update.
