Driver dies in car crash near home

Lake County -- A 43-year-old Lake County man was killed in a single-car crash Friday night, less than a mile from his home, the Florida Highway Patrol reports.

Robert Dennis Livingston of Sorrento had just left a friend's house about 10 p.m. and was driving north on County Road 435 back to his wife and three children. Livingston failed to negotiate a curve just south of Exmoor Drive and went off the road and struck an oak tree head-on, the Highway Patrol said..

Livingston, who was not wearing a seat beat, was pronounced dead at the scene. The accident remains under investigation by the Highway Patrol.
