NEAR ORLANDO, OK – Oklahoma Highway Patrol suspects speeding was a possible factor behind a crash that killed a 20-year-old man near Orlando on Saturday, OKCFOX said.
The collision happened before 2 a.m. on U.S. 77 North near East County Road 59. OHP believes the 20-year-old man was driving at a high rate of speed, which caused him to lose control of his vehicle, plow into a fence, and then go through a field and crash into a ditch.
The vehicle overturned and crashed into the pond. The driver, an Orlando local, did not wear a seatbelt and succumbed to his injuries a short time later.
No other occupants were reported to be involved.
