Deputies said at around 4 a.m. Friday morning a white 2000 Toyota Tundra truck was driving eastbound of S.R. 44 when the truck flipped off multiple times.

Neither Hunter nor Marshall were wearing seatbelts and were ejected from the truck, deputies said.

Video from Sky 6 showed police and fire rescue at the scene and a white pickup truck overturned on the shoulder.

Authorities diverted eastbound and westbound traffic through one lane, which caused backups. Orange Camp Road was used as an alternate route. S.R. 44 was reopened later Monday morning.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
