A man was killed in a two-vehicle accident on Interstate 4 in Florida.

Florida Highway Patrol officials identified Jose Chaves, 47, of Hudson, as the man killed in a two-vehicle rollover accident on Interate 4 near DeLand.

Chaves was killed when the pickup truck he was traveling in struck another vehicle Sunday night, causing the truck to overturn off the roadway and strike several trees.

A passenger in the truck, Antonio Guerras, 58, was listed in critical condition Monday morning at Halifax Health Medical Center. Neither of the men was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident, which occurred at about 10 p.m. Sunday, said the highway patrol.

According to spokeswoman Kim Miller, Chaves was speeding and dangerously passing other cars. Chaves collided head-on into a vehicle driven by Justin Shields, 19, of Wellington. Shields was transported to Halifax by ambulance and suffered minor injuries in the accident.
