A Wesley Chapel resident has died, following a single-vehicle crash in Sumter County.
The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) reports that around 3:40 a.m. on December 30, Nathan Wayne Crawford, 45, was traveling west in his 2005 Cadillac Escalade on C.R. 470 at the intersection with C.R. 431 near Inverness. The FHP report states that Crawford’s Escalade left the roadway and crossed the northern shoulder and entered a ditch.
Crawford’s vehicle continued through the ditch and launched up and over C.R. 431, the report says. The Escalade collided with a tree on the north shoulder of C.R. 470, west of C.R. 431 and came to final rest facing northwest. Crawford died of his injuries at the scene.
FHP reports that Crawford reportedly was not wearing a seatbelt and alcohol is a factor in the crash.
