Driver dies after going off I-4 overpass in Sanford

SANFORD, Fla. — Florida Highway Patrol says a two-vehicle wreck in Sanford turned deadly Monday morning.

Troopers say the preliminary evidence indicates that shortly after 10 a.m., a Honda Accord was traveling eastbound on Interstate 4, approaching the overpass of State Road 46. Meanwhile, a Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class was stopped in the eastbound left turn lane on State Road 46.

Troopers say the Honda’s driver ran off the roadway and struck the median guardrail. This impact caused it to overturn onto State Road 46 and collide with the Mercedes-Benz.

The Honda’s driver died at the scene. He has not yet been identified, but troopers said he was a 91-year-old from Daytona Beach Shores.

The Mercedes-Benz’s driver was not hurt and remained at the scene.

State Road 46 was closed in all directions. It has since reopened.

The cause of the wreck remains under investigation.
