Man dies after being thrown from truck on U.S. 19 in Hernando

WEEKI WACHEE — A Brooksville man died Friday when the pickup he was driving spun off the road and overturned along U.S. 19.

Raymond G. Davis, 52, was driving north about 5 p.m. in the center lane of U.S. 19, north of State Road 50, when the truck began to turn clockwise, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The truck spun onto the shoulder of the highway and rolled.

Davis, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the truck onto the road's shoulder, troopers said. He was taken to Bayonet Point Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead about an hour after the crash.

It was unclear why Davis spun off the road, troopers said. The crash remained under investigation late Friday.
