A man behind the wheel of a pickup truck suffered a medical episode that caused him to swerve off the road and crash Thursday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers said the 65-year-old man was driving northbound on U.S. 27 in Lake County around 10:25 a.m. when a medical event caused him to lose control, go over the median and into the southbound lanes, where the front left of his Ford hit the left rear of a Toyota SUV.
