BROOKSVILLE, Fla. (WFLA) — A man was killed during an overnight crash in Brooksville after he was ejected from a UTV, that also carried a woman and two young girls, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The crash happened Sunday at 12:44 a.m. on Saturn Road, within the 3300 block of the roadway.
FHP said the driver, a 36-year-old Brooksville man, and his three passengers— a 36-year-old woman, an 11-year-old girl, and a 10-year-old girl, were traveling northbound on Saturn Road in a Polaris side-by-side vehicle.

The three passengers were not injured during the crash.
