A fatal crash took the life of a 73-year-old Spring Hill man around 4:15 a.m. Saturday on U.S. 301, just north of Moccasin Wallow Road.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the man was driving a pickup truck south on U.S. 301 when he lost control at a curve.

The truck overturned and landed on its roof in a nearby ditch.
The man was transported to an area hospital where he died from his injuries, troopers say.
