VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol reports that a 29-year-old Edgewater man died late Monday night after his sedan struck the back of a semi-truck on Interstate 95 in Volusia County.
According to troopers’ report, the collision happened around 11:27 p.m. with both vehicles traveling north in the center lane south of West Indian River Boulevard. A Hyundai Sonata did not stop for a semi-truck ahead, resulting in the sedan rear-ending the trailer.
The driver of the Hyundai Sonata, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced deceased at the scene of the crash.
Troopers say the 50-year-old driver of the 2023 semi-truck only sustained minor injuries and wasn’t taken to the hospital. He stayed at the scene afterward to talk with investigators.
