FORT MYERS, Fla. – A 44-year-old man is in critical condition after crashing on Metro Parkway near Landing View Road on Sunday morning, authorities said.

Sundiata Ade Hill of Fort Myers was attempting a right turn when he lost control of his car, which ran off the roadway, according to Florida Highway Patrol. Hill’s car continued to move until it landed on its side in a grass ditch, FHP said.

The car toppled forward, striking the wire of a power line and ejecting Hill, FHP said. Hill is at Lee Memorial Hospital where he is in critical condition, authorities said.

Power outages were reported for several homes, according to Florida Power and Light. The damages to the power line were repaired within a few hours, FPL said.
