IMMOKALEE, Fla. — A 49-year-old Naples man died in a crash Sunday morning on Interstate 75 at mile marker 66, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Mario Thomson died in the two-vehicle wreck that happened at 7:54 a.m. and temporarily blocked northbound traffic, the FHP said.

Thomson’s 1998 Ford Expedition and a 2000 Dodge Caravan driven by 69-year-old Charles L. Grabiak of Fort Myers were traveling on Interstate 75. The Ford improperly changed lanes, according to the FHP, and hit the Dodge’s left side.

The collision caused both vehicles to hit a guardrail, and the Ford flipped over.

Thomson was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

Charges are pending a further investigation.

No further information was immediately available.
