According to troopers, the 73-year-old Venice man was behind the wheel of a sedan going south on Biscayne Drive. At the same time, a pickup truck driven by a 47-year-old Port Charlotte man was going west on State Road 776 (El Joebean Road) in the left lane. 

Troopers say the Venice man tried to make a left turn toward eastbound El Joebean Road and went directly in the pickup truck driver’s path. As a result, the front of the pickup truck collided with the driver’s side of the sedan.
