At the same time, the BMW, traveling north on 28th Street South, entered the paved median as it approached the intersection then attempted to re-enter the northbound travel lane just before the collision occurred.

After the initial impact, the BMW crashed into a concrete pillar under the interstate overpass.

The BMW driver, a 39-year-old man, was taken by ambulance to Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital with life threatening injuries. The 35-year-old driver of the Dodge pickup was transported in stable condition.

A portion of 28th Street South from 5th Avenue South to 11th Avenue South was shut down for more than three hours due to the crash and subsequent investigation. It reopened before noon.

The investigation remains open and active.
