A man was killed and three others were injured in an early Wednesday morning crash at the intersection of US192 and Nova Road in Osceola County, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
According to FHP, a sedan was heading east on Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway and tried to make a left turn onto Nova Road but was struck on the side of the sedan by an SUV traveling west on US192.
The driver of the sedan, a 56-year-old St. Cloud woman, was seriously injured, and her passenger, a 27-year-old St. Cloud man, was pronounced dead at the scene.
