According to the crash report, the man was driving south at a "high rate of speed" on Orange Blossom Trail in Orange County near 35th Street just before 3 a.m. Saturday. The report states that the victim lost control of his car and first crashed into the back of a 2010 Toyota Yaris that was also traveling on the road. The driver of the Yaris was not injured.
