A 53-year-old Marianna man was killed Sunday in a single-vehicle crash in Jackson County.
The wreck happened at about 5:50 p.m. on Magnolia Lane near State 71, according to a news release from the Florida Highway Patrol. Freddie Lewis Lee was traveling east on Magnolia Road when the vehicle entered a curved portion of the roadway and then left the roadway by traveling onto the south shoulder, the news release states.
The vehicle then continued in a south direction while entering into a counter clockwise rotation and struck a power pole causing the pole to snap approximately 7-8 feet above ground level, officials wrote.
The vehicle continued past the point of collision with the power pole ejecting the driver and both vehicle and driver came to final rest on the south side of the roadway south of the shoulder. The driver was found at rest next to the right side of the vehicle and on the ground.
The driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident is under investigation.
