On Saturday, Hernando County Fire Rescue responded to the crash near mile marker 296 just after noon.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a Freightliner semi-truck driven by a 55-year-old Cape Coral man blew a tire while driving in the southbound lanes.
When the driver exited to the side of the roadway, he struck a Hyundai Elantra, carrying a 33-year-old Clermont woman and a young boy, parked on the shoulder.
