A 28-year-old man was killed in a multi-vehicle crash in Indian River County Sunday night, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. 

The accident happened shortly after 8 p.m. at the intersection of County Road 606, also known as Oslo Road, and 66th Avenue.

Officials say Stephen Stradley of Vero Beach was driving a 2012 KIA Rio southbound on 66th Avenue and  failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection.

Stradley died at the scene. 
 
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
