The Florida Highway Patrol reports that on February 2, 2025, a 23-year-old Weeki Wachee man lost his life after a crash caused by his failure to negotiate a curve in the roadway. The man was not wearing a seatbelt. At 12:42 am, the Weeki Wachee man was driving a Toyota Tundra westbound on SR-50, West of US-19. After failing to negotiate the curve, the vehicle entered the north shoulder of the highway and struck a utility pole. The vehicle was redirected back across the roadway, entered the south shoulder and overturned. Unfortunately, the unrestrained driver was ejected from the vehicle as it overturned. The driver was transported to an area hospital, but he later expired from injuries suffered during the crash.
