Florida Highway Patrol responded to the scene in the northbound lanes, south of Atlantic Boulevard, at around 5 a.m., Sunday.
According to investigators, the driver of a 2000 Ford pickup truck swerved to the right shoulder, then overcorrected and traveled across all lanes until the front and left side of the truck crashed into the median wall.
The impact caused the victim to be ejected from the vehicle and land on the left shoulder.
