A Florida man is dead after crashing into a canal off Interstate 95.

A Florida Highway Patrol report says 24-year-old Robert Anthony Ruiz died at the scene Tuesday night. The crash reports says Ruiz was traveling south on the highway through Pompano Beach when he lost control of his car, crashed through a fence and ended up in a canal.

It wasn't immediately known if alcohol was a factor. No other injuries were reported.
