ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A 25-year-old Kissimmee man was killed early Thursday in a crash on Interstate 4 near State Road 528 in Orange County, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Investigators said two vehicles collided shortly after 12:30 a.m. and overturned, ejecting one of the drivers, Matthew Adams, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, Sgt. Kim Montes said.
A third vehicle ran over the man who was ejected, Montes said.

Troopers said both vehicles involved in the collision rolled over multiple times.
"Unfortunately, the difference between the two drivers surviving and now being injured is the seatbelt," Montes said.
The drivers of the other vehicles were uninjured.
Westbound lanes of the interstate were blocked for five hours, but they have since been reopened.
The crash remains under investigation.
No other details were given.
