Troopers said the driver lost control of the car and entered the south shoulder of County Road 470. The driver then over-corrected, causing the car to cross both lanes. The car started to overturn when it crashed into a utility pole on the north shoulder of the road, according to an FHP crash report.
Troopers said the child was not wearing a seatbelt when he was ejected from the car. He suffered fatal injuries.
