One of the passengers in an SUV was killed on Saturday, after the vehicle overturned and he was ejected, Florida Highway Patrol said.
The crash occurred on Grissom Parkway near Camp Road in Brevard County, around 6:00 p.m.
James Walker, 28, the driver of the Toyota SUV, had just passed another vehicle that was traveling southbound as he was, when he entered a curve and the front right tires drifted off the roadway, troopers said.
