PUNTA GORDA, Fla. — A 46-year-old man was killed early Saturday morning after losing control of his car and crashing into the median on Interstate 75 near mile marker 168, the Florida Highway Patrol said. Timothy Williams, of Cape Coral, was driving north on Interstate 75 at around 1 a.m. faster than the 70 mph speed limit when he lost control of his Chevrolet Avalanche. Williams spun off the road and flipped over onto the grass median. He was ejected from the truck as he wasn’t wearing his seat belt, the FHP said. The crash wasn’t discovered until 7 a.m.
