HUDSON, Fla. - A man is dead, and a woman is seriously injured after a high-speed crash in Hudson on Monday afternoon, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers say the driver, a 37-year-old man, was heading east on Beagle Road when he lost control of his Saturn sedan and went off the road just east of Orwell Road. As the car left the roadway, it struck a telephone box, a fence, and a tree.
