TAYLOR COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - Troopers say a driver wasn't wearing his seat belt when his car overturned in Taylor County, causing him to be ejected from the vehicle.

The Florida Highway Patrol says Stephen Davis, 28, of Chiefland was driving his 2002 Volvo S60 south on Fish Creek Road just east of West Fork Road Sunday afternoon when he came to a right curve.

While entering the curve, Davis lost control of his car and veered off the left shoulder of the road, causing the vehicle to overturn. 

In the process, Davis was ejected out of the front driver side window. Troopers say he was ejected because he was not wearing his seatbelt.

Davis was pronounced dead on scene by paramedics with Taylor County EMS.
