A 50-year-old Wildwood man was killed Thursday when his car was rear-ended by a truck on State Road 44 in Sumter County, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The fatal wreck happened around 12:45 p.m. on S.R. 44 near Industrial Drive.
The FHP said a single unit truck failed to slow or stop for traffic ahead of it and crashed into the back of a Honda Civic driven by the Wildwood man, who later died from his injuries.
The truck also struck a Ford F-150 that was ahead of the Civic and a Toyota Rav4 that was in an adjacent lane, according to the FHP.
The driver of the truck, a 40-year-old New Jersey man, and the driver of the Ford F-150 suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospitals, an FHP crash report stated.
The driver of the Toyota was not injured.
No other details have been released.
