The Florida Highway Patrol responded to a crash involving a tractor-trailer and vehicle on Friday.
According to a news release, the incident happened at Latitude Margaritaville near the intersection of State Road 79 and SR 388, just after 7 a.m.
Troopers said a 62-year-old woman from Daleville Alabama driving an SUV made a left on SR 388 from SR 79 and a 46-year-old man from Pace Florida driving a tractor-trailer was traveling south in the outside lane of State Road 79.
Troopers said the SUV failed to yield to the right of way, colliding with the tractor-trailer.
As a result, the SUV overturned, and the tractor-trailer continued traveling in a southern direction and overturned.
The tractor-trailer came to a final rest on its left side in the southbound lanes of SR79 facing east, officials wrote.
Troopers confirmed both drivers sustained only minor injuries.
