According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the man was driving a pickup truck northbound on SR-589 (Veterans Parkway) exit ramp leading to SR-52.
For an “unknown reason,” the pickup truck departed the roadway. Once the Hudson man made it onto the shoulder, the pickup collided first with a light pole and then a traffic control signal pole before stopping.
