The FHP said a 30-year-old Orlando man was driving a 2007 Toyota Tacoma east on S.R. 50 when the man, who was not in a crosswalk, entered his direct path.
The front of the pickup struck the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene, according to an FHP crash report.
The driver, who remained at the scene, was not injured, troopers said.
News 6 initially reported that it appeared the pickup crashed into the back of a dump truck. We regret the error.
Two fatals over night.
