Ocala,FL : Roberto O. Montoya killed in I-75 Single Vehicle crash on Tuesday night ,June 30th 2015

Roberto O. Montoya was a family man who loved horses.

His wife, Shasta Montoya, said the two have been together for nearly two decades, and their wedding anniversary was a little more than three weeks away.

“He loved his family,” an emotional Shasta Montoya said talking on the phone with the Star-Banner on Wednesday.

Tuesday night, the Summerfield man was killed in a single-vehicle crash when the truck he was driving ran off Interstate 75 and into a ditch, ejecting him.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers said the 40-year-old man was driving a silver 2004 Nissan Titan pickup south on I-75 in the right-hand lane when, for an unknown reason, the vehicle went off the road and onto the grassy shoulder.

Authorities said the truck rolled over at least once in the ditch and ejected Montoya. He was pronounced dead on scene by a Marion County Fire Rescue official.

It was not known if he was wearing a seat belt or if speed or alcohol contributed to the crash, authorities said.

The crash occurred roughly a half mile north of the State Road 200 exit at 8:44 p.m., troopers said.
