HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. — A man was killed after he crashed his car in Hernando County late Thursday night.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the 45-year-old was driving a Nissan Sentra south on SR-589 around 11:40 p.m. when he lost control of the car following a medical emergency.
The Sentra then traveled into the median and overturned. The victim, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the car. He was taken to a local hospital along with his 9-year-old son, who was in the car during the crash.
The man later died, while his son suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
FHP did not release details about the medical emergency that led to the crash.

"I cried, of course, because I've worked very hard getting it nice, which has been difficult for me since I lost my husband and being alone,” Kelly Welty said.
Welty's mobile home lost its roof during Hurricane Milton. She said it was the only one in the Buena Vista community to get totaled by a tornado.
