IMMOKALEE -- Late Wednesday afternoon (May 19), deputies with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call for assistance from the Hendry County Sheriff’s Office regarding a stolen dump truck heading into Immokalee on State Road 29.

Deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on the stolen dump truck but the driver failed to stop and continued to evade law enforcement.

After turning onto New Market Road, the dump truck crashed into one vehicle causing injuries to the driver before crashing into another vehicle and entering Farm Worker Village.

The driver of the stolen dump truck died on scene.

Deputies have not yet released the name of the man who died or any further details.
