DESOTO COUNTY, Fla.— An Arcadia man is dead after losing control and crashing his truck.

Florida Highway Patrol says 37-year old Kiakee Henry was driving a pickup truck south on U.S. 17, just south of Southwest Fletcher Street around 9:00 P.M. Monday night.

Troopers say Henry lost control of his truck, hitting two construction barrels and a guardrail, before his truck flipped over multiple times.

Henry was ejected and died on the scene. He was not wearing a seatbelt.
