Breaking News Overnight: Lake Butler man dies after a single-vehicle collision in Union County

Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol responded to a single-vehicle collision in Union County last night that resulted in the death of the driver.

As he approached, the driver failed to maintain the proper lane and exited the roadway onto the grassy shoulder. As a result, he overcorrected his steering, which caused the vehicle to cross over the eastbound travel lane and continue southwest, colliding with a standing tree.

According to the report, the driver suffered fatal injuries in the collision.

The FHP did not release the driver's name involved in the collision.
