A 44-year-old Dunnellon man was killed after the dump truck he was driving veered off a local roadway and crashed into a concrete wall near the World Equestrian Center in northwest Ocala.
The fatal accident took place along NW Hwy 225A, just south of NW 79th Avenue Road in Ocala on Tuesday morning at around 9:10 a.m.
According to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol, the man was driving a dump truck loaded with dirt northbound on the roadway.
