The accident happened Saturday afternoon at Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park south of Gainesville. The Florida Highway Patrol hasn't released the victim's name.
Authorities say the ranger's car was stopped because the road he was traveling on was block by a downed tree. As he sat in his car, a second tree fell atop it, causing the roof to collapse.
The highway patrol says the ranger died at the scene.
