A 20-year-old Orlando man was killed early Saturday when his car ran off Landstar Boulevard on a curve north of Borg Street, smashed into a tree, and then flipped multiple times. First responders pronounced him dead at the scene, and Florida Highway Patrol troopers are investigating the single-vehicle crash.
Crash details from the incident log
The Florida Highway Patrol's live incident log lists a "Fatality" at Landstar Boulevard and Borg Street on July 18 and shows that troopers were dispatched to the scene, according to FLHSMV. The entry notes the incident classification and the time the call came in while crews worked the crash site.
Troopers' account of the rollover
As reported by WESH, troopers said the car, a 2025 Ford Mustang, failed to negotiate a curve, crossed into opposing lanes, hit a tree and overturned several times. WESH reports that the driver, identified only as a 20-year-old Orlando man, was pronounced dead at the scene and that the Florida Highway Patrol continues to investigate. Troopers had not released his name as of the station's report, while family notification was still underway.
A corridor with a history of serious crashes
Landstar Boulevard appears on Orange County's list of corridors with repeated serious collisions, and the county's Vision Zero Action Plan calls for targeted engineering and enforcement on roads with high crash counts, according to Orange County. Local officials have pointed to speed and roadway design as contributing factors on several county corridors.
Troopers asked anyone with information about the crash to contact the Florida Highway Patrol, as reported by WESH. The agency said it will release additional details as the investigation moves forward.
