One person died and two were injured when a pest control truck collided with a minivan Thursday in Indian River County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash happened just before 4:30 p.m. at 43rd Avenue SW and 5th St. SW.
Investigators said it appeared the driver of the truck became unresponsive, traveled into a northbound lane and sideswiped the minivan.
The truck then left the road, crossed a grass shoulder and ended up in a canal, according to FHP.
The driver, later identified as 52-year-old Raymond Charles Anderson of Port St. Lucie, was taken to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
A woman and child in the minivan received minor injuries.
