Tallahassee, FL : FHP investigating fatal crash on SR 50 near Winter Garden on April, Monday 10th 2017

A 119-year-old Winter Garden man died Monday morning in a head-on crash that shut down State Road 50 for hours, troopers say.

The crash happened just before 1:30 a.m. on State Road 50 at Oakland Avenue near Winter Garden.

Troopers said Carlos Sanchez Santiago was driving a 1998 Nissan west on S.R. 50 when the driver of a 2016 Ford car heading east lost control and traveled into Santiago’s lane.

The other driver, 23-year-old Wilvenson Darius, of Groveland, was trying to turn onto Oakland Avenue when he lost control, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

Emergency medical crews declared Santiago dead at the scene.

Troopers said Darius wasn’t injured.

It’s unclear what caused Darius to lose control.

Troopers remained at the scene for several hours investigating and were reporting a road block in the area.
