DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – A fatal crash temporarily shut down I-4 eastbound in Daytona Beach, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Troopers said the crash happened around 7:45 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of the interstate near mile marker 131, just past the U.S. 92 exit.

The FHP said a pickup truck and another vehicle collided when the driver of the truck tried to move into the left lane and didn’t see the other vehicle. The truck then hit a guardrail and overturned, with a passenger being ejected from the truck. That person, a man who troopers said they were still working to identify Friday night, was pronounced dead at the crash site.

Three other vehicles crashed trying to avoid striking the person who was ejected in the first crash, troopers said. There were minor injuries.

Traffic was diverted onto U.S. 92 by troopers.
