Crash happened near SR-417 interchange
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – A driver was killed after running a red light and crashing into a semi-truck in Orange County, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The crash happened around 2 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Orange Blossom Trail (U.S. Highway 441), near the State Road 417 interchange.
According to an FHP report, the driver of a 2025 Kia K4 was heading southbound on Orange Blossom Trail when he ran a red light approaching the northbound exit ramp from State Road 417. A 2023 Freightliner semi-tractor-trailer was making a left turn from the State Road 417 off-ramp onto northbound Orange Blossom Trail when the Kia struck the left side of the trailer.
The Kia then continued south, ran off the road, and struck a light pole.
The driver of the Kia, an adult male whose identity is pending confirmation, was pronounced dead at the scene. The semi-truck driver was not injured and remained on scene.
The crash remains under investigation.
