DADE CITY - Florida Highway Patrol troopers are investigating an early morning fatality in a single-car crash on U.S. 301 at Payne Road.

A man was driving his 1992 Oldsmobile sedan south on U.S. 301 in the outside lane about 2:10 a.m. and ran off the road and onto the west shoulder, according to a patrol report.

The car smashed into a utility pole and rolled over, tossing the man onto the bank of a retention pond, the report states. The car ended up in the pond on the west shoulder of the highway.
