Man, 76, killed after being hit by multiple cars on SR-535 in Orange County<\/p>\n

\"Meaghan<\/a>ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014<\/p>\n

A 76-year-old Orlando man was killed after he was hit by multiple cars Monday morning on Apopka Vineland Road (SR-535) in Orange County, FHP says.<\/p>\n

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash happened just after 6 a.m. on Apopka Vineland Road south of Palm Parkway.<\/p>\n

Troopers say the man walked into the southbound lanes of Apopka Vineland Road outside of a marked crosswalk.<\/p>\n

FHP says he walked in front of a 2015 Nissan Altima and the front, right side of that car hit him, throwing him into the outside lane, where he was then hit again by the undercarriage of a 2013 Nissan Cube.<\/p>\n

The Nissan Altima driver and passenger, as well as the Nissan Cube driver, were not injured.<\/p>\n

FHP said the Nissan Altima driver reported that a third car, possibly a white SUV, also hit the 76-year-old before leaving the scene.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the Nissan Cube driver initially left the scene but later returned. The vehicle had undercarriage damage consistent with the crash.<\/p>\n

The 76-year-old man was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. <\/p>\n

Anyone with information about the crash or the possible white SUV is asked to contact FHP at *347 or Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man, 76, killed after being hit by multiple cars on SR-535 in Orange County ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":392988,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[41138,151861,7375,1056,89135,618,10749,2620,86627,674,4546,1335,139,141,140,156797,73708,46408,918],"class_list":["post-392987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-apopka-vineland-road","tag-daryl-carter-parkway","tag-deadly-crash","tag-fhp","tag-fields","tag-florida-highway-patrol","tag-international-drive","tag-intersection","tag-local-road","tag-monday-morning","tag-more-information","tag-orange-county","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-palm-parkway","tag-sr-535","tag-stretch","tag-wesh"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=392987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/392988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=392987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=392987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
