An adult and child from Ocala were killed on Thursday morning in a two-vehicle crash that occurred on the Florida Turnpike in Sumter County.
On Thursday, shortly before 1 a.m., a sedan and SUV were both traveling northbound on the Florida Turnpike. According to the Florida Highway Patrol incident report, the sedan attempted to pass the SUV near milepost 304, and the sedan proceeded to collide with the rear of the SUV.
After the collision, the sedan came to a final rest on the grass shoulder of the highway. The sedan’s driver and sole occupant, a 27-year-old man from Inverness, was not injured in the accident.
