A 65-year-old Marco Island man was killed in a crash on Wednesday night.

The crash happened at US-41 and Southwest Boulevard in Collier County just before 7:45 p.m., according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol.

A 65-year-old woman who was a passenger in his vehicle sustained serious injuries.

Troopers say the man was stopped on southbound US-41 for a red traffic signal when a vehicle driven by an 88-year-old Naples man failed to stop and hit him from behind.

The 88-year-old man that failed to stop also sustained serious injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.
