The driver of a Toyota Camry died in a single-vehicle crash early Christmas morning near Aloma, and the damage from the crash seriously injured a nearby pedestrian, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The 43-year-old driver lost control of his vehicle on Forsyth Road about 3 a.m. Friday, striking a curb, then a sign and internet box, flipping the car. The driver, who was not identified, was partially ejected from the driver’s window, and later pronounced dead on the scene, FHP said.
