A 73-year-old Webster man died Wednesday night after being rescued from a partially submerged car in Lake County.
The man has not been identified pending notification of next of kin, according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
His 1998 Mercury four-door had been traveling south on County Road 48 when his vehicle left the roadway, struck a power pole and then went into a pond where it was partially submerged. The man was pulled out of the car by Good Samaritans. But as he was sitting on the ground he suddenly went unconscious and died.
The crash remains under investigation.
