VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — A 39-year-old father was killed Friday after being thrown from his Honda SUV in a one-vehicle crash on State Road 40 in Volusia County, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
His 3-year-old boy in the SUV, who was not in a car seat, was also ejected from the vehicle during the crash, but survived with only minor injuries, troopers said.
Troopers identified the driver as Jamar Fox of Crescent City, Florida.
The crash happened at about 7:45 p.m. on State Road 40 at Pinto Lane, officials said.
Fox was driving west on the roadway when, for an unknown reason, he drifted off the road onto the shoulder, overcorrected and flipped the SUV, FHP said.
Fox was pronounced dead at the scene.
The toddler was taken to Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital for treatment.
