Crystal River, Florida - A single-vehicle traffic crash that occurred on Friday, Nov. 27, at 6:29 am, resulted in the death of the driver, a 48 year-old man from Crystal River, and critical injuries to his passenger, at 47 year-old woman from Beverly Hills, FL.

The crash occurred on CR 495 (N. Citrus Ave.), south of W. Dunklin St., in Crystal River.

According to a press release by the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) the man was driving a pickup truck, traveling north on CR 495, approaching W. Dunklin St., when the truck, for unknown reasons, departed from the roadway, traveled onto the east grass shoulder, then traveled back onto the northbound lanes of the roadway. The truck then rotated into the private entrance of 7985 N. Citrus Ave., where it overturned several times, partially ejecting the driver and fully ejecting the passenger, and then came to rest on the grass shoulder.

The press release stated that the passenger was critically injuried, and the driver later expired, from injuries sustained during the crash, that neither of the two was wearing a seatbelt.

Citing Marsy's Law as the reason, the FHP no longer identifies the people, or the specific models of vehicles, in its press releases regarding traffic crashes.
