Man thrown from pick-up after truck hits guardrail, flips into oncoming lanes on I-75

A 42-year-old man died Friday morning in a violent rollover crash that shut down all northbound lanes of I-75 in Marion County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Troopers said the man, who is from Eustis, was headed south on I-75 around 6 a.m. when, “for reasons yet to be determined,” his truck drifted across all three southbound lanes and hit the guardrail.

FHP said the impact sent the truck flipping into the oncoming northbound lanes, and the man, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the truck.

He died at the scene.

The crash shut down all of the northbound lanes of I-75 in the area, and traffic was being diverted Friday morning.
