ORMOND BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A man whose car crashed into an Interstate 95 guardrail early Tuesday was struck and killed by a passing tractor trailer as he tried to cross the highway, officials said.
The 28-year-old man was heading south near Ormond Beach around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday when the vehicle struck a guardrail, the Florida Highway Patrol said in a news release.
The man then tried to cross the northbound lanes of I-95 and was struck by a big rig driven by a 55-year-old man from Jacksonville.
Troopers didn’t know why the initial crash happened, or why the man was trying to cross the road.
An investigation is underway.
