Troopers said the crash happened along State Road 326 as the man was driving west.
Investigators say the SUV turned north and got stuck on the train tracks as a southbound train approached the railroad crossing.
As a result, FHP says the train collided with the left front side of the SUV. The 72-year-old Ocala man was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
