LAKE COUNTY, Fla. – A 30-year-old Dunnellon man was killed in a crash late Saturday in Lake County with a sedan that veered into his lane, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred around 11:40 p.m. on State Road 19, south of Arrowtree Boulevard, troopers said.
According to an FHP crash report, a 2020 Audi A3 carrying two occupants — a 17-year-old boy driving and a 17-year-old girl riding as a passenger, both of Groveland — was traveling southbound on S.R. 19 as a 2013 Ford Mustang driven by the Dunnellon man traveled north.
