A 20-year-old man died in a Tuesday, Sept. 26, crash near Dr. Phillips.

The crash occurred at about 10:26 a.m. at Sand Lake Road and Beacon Lake Drive.

According to Florida Highway Patrol reports, the victim was speeding in a 2013 Chevrolet Corvette eastbound on Sand Lake Road. As he approached Beacon Lake Drive, a 2023 Honda Accord, driven by a 21-year-old Orlando male, attempted to make a left turn onto southbound Beacon Lake Drive.

The front portion of the Corvette struck the Accord; this caused the Corvette to overturn into a ditch.

The driver of the Corvette died, and the 22-year-old passenger was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center with minor injuries. The other driver, a 21-year-old male from Orlando, was not transported and remained on-scene.
