There were three fatal crashes overnight and early Wednesday on Bay area roadways.

Two of the crashes left pedestrians dead.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a 66-year-old pedestrian from Rhode Island was killed while walking along Interstate 75.

Troopers said the man was walking southbound on I-75 just after 11:30 p.m. when he was struck by a car in the outside lane.

The man, whose identity has not been released, died at the scene.

Also, a driver was killed in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 275 near Sligh Avenue.

Troopers said James Peterson lost control of his Buick sedan just before 2 a.m. while traveling in the northbound lanes of I-275. The vehicle left the roadway and crashed into a barrier.

Peterson, 45, was pronounced dead at the scene.  

The roadway was closed to traffic for about three hours.
