The driver of the Mazda began to change lanes toward the inside lane and lost control. The driver overcorrected to the right and struck the outside shoulder concrete wall barrier. The driver then overcorrected to the left and struck the inside shoulder concrete wall barrier. The vehicle then overturned onto its roof.

The driver died on-scene.

A passenger, a 19-year-old male from Saint Cloud, was transported to Health Central Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.   

There is currently a roadblock on the northbound lanes on the Florida’s Turnpike and the exit ramp.

The crash remains under investigation.
