A 41-year-old Belle Isle man was killed Friday night when his sedan overturned on Landstreet Road and threw him from the vehicle, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The crash happened at about 6:28 p.m. near the intersection with Avenue C in Orange County, and troopers say the man was not wearing a seat belt.
According to WESH, the man was driving the sedan eastbound in the inside lane of Landstreet Road as he approached Avenue C when he overcorrected and ran off the roadway to the right. The car then began overturning onto the right shoulder, where it struck a curb before striking two parked, unoccupied vehicles, the crash report states. Troopers said the man was ejected during the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Florida Highway Patrol Investigation Continues
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash, though no further details on a possible cause have been released beyond the sequence of events described in the report. The station's account does not indicate whether any citations have been issued.
This is not the first deadly wreck reported at that same stretch of roadway. A separate crash at Landstreet Road and Avenue C last year killed a 49-year-old Orlando man riding a moped after a Hyundai struck the moped from behind, according to orlandosentinel.com. That rider was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead, with FHP saying the crash remained under investigation.
Another Fatal Crash Nearby Last Year
Landstreet Road has seen other fatal wrecks closer to Orange Avenue as well. On March 1, 2025, a 39-year-old woman died and a 33-year-old woman was injured in an early-morning crash there after a sedan struck the rear of a stopped tractor-trailer, per a separate Orlando Sentinel report. The 39-year-old later died from her injuries, while the 33-year-old suffered serious injuries in that crash.
No information has been released about what led the Belle Isle man to overcorrect Friday night, and the Florida Highway Patrol has not indicated whether the investigation into his death has reached any conclusions.
