A 42-year-old man was killed Sunday after the tire tread on his pickup truck separated while driving along U.S. 1, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Christopher Watt, of Cocoa, was traveling southbound on U.S. 1 near Williams Point Boulevard around 8:15 p.m. The tire tread on Watt's Ford pickup truck separated and he lost control of the vehicle, troopers said.
The truck overturned into the median, and Watt was ejected from the vehicle.
