20-year old UCF student Santiago Diaz Arteaga was killed on Monday when he lost control of his car and hit a pole on Lake Pickett Road, the Florida Highway Patrol told the Orlando Sentinel.
Diaz Arteaga was on his way to a chemistry exam, driving west near Tanner Road at 12:40 p.m. when his 2002 Honda veered off of the pavement and struck a pole on the driver’s side, troopers told the Orlando Sentinel. Diaz Arteaga was wearing a seatbelt, but died at the scene of the accident.
Diaz Arteaga moved from Pembroke Pines to Orlando in January to attend UCF, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Investigators are trying to determine why he lost control of the car.
