Orange County firefighters responded to a fatal, single vehicle crash just north of Taft on Wednesday.
First responders were dispatched around 2 p.m. to South Orange Avenue and Jetport Drive, reporting an “auto accident with heavy entrapment on the train tracks,” according to Orange County Fire Rescue.
In a release, troopers said that the driver — a 31-year-old Orlando man — had been driving south along South Orange Avenue, though witnesses saw him swerving and speeding.
The driver failed to keep control of the car, and he ended up striking a light pole and railroad warning sign, the release shows. As a result, he died at the scene.
A roadblock was established for the southbound lanes of South Orange Avenue as CSX Rail and the Florida Highway Patrol were notified, firefighters said. Traffic was seen moving again through the area by 4 p.m.
No additional information has been provided. This crash remains under investigation.
