The accident occurred early in the morning near John Yawn Place on U.S. 27. Florida Highway Patrol and WCTV report that a Ford Focus was traveling on the highway when the driver of the car somehow lost control. The vehicle left the roadway and traveled into a ditch, according to Troopers.

Troopers were not reported as having determined the reason for the driver’s loss of control or why the Ford left the roadway.
