Troopers said the car continued up the embankment to the edge of a Walgreen's parking lot, where it then struck a small tree before stopping.
The man was transported to UF Health in critical condition, troopers said.
FHP said the cause of the crash was believed to be medically related.
Troopers have not identified the man and are working to notify his next of kin.
