A man was killed early Monday morning when he was ejected in a violent crash on I-295 southbound near Wilson Boulevard, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash, which was reported just before 3 a.m. Monday, closed all southbound lanes of I-295 just before the Wilson Boulevard exit for about six hours. The lanes have since reopened.
FHP said the man was in an SUV headed south on I-295 when “for undetermined reasons,” the SUV drove off the road onto the right shoulder, continued through the grass, hit several trees, then spun back toward the highway where it ended up on top of a guardrail on the right shoulder.
The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected onto the highway, where he was then hit by at least two other vehicles, the report said.
Troopers said the other drivers remained at the scene and are cooperating with the investigation.
The driver, who has not yet been identified, died at the scene.
