POLK COUNTY, Fla. — Two people were hurt early Monday morning when they crashed into each other on a rural stretch of roadway.
A 24-year-old woman from Kissimmee was heading south just before 5 a.m. on State Road 33 near Van Fleet Road while, at the same time, a tractor-trailer truck was heading north, according to a Florida Highway Patrol crash report.
Troopers say the woman somehow lost control of her car, crossed the centerline and crashed nearly head-on with the truck, which was driven by a 40-year-old Tampa man. The car spun around while the truck came to a rest on the road, spilling fuel and oil, FHP says.
The woman suffered serious injuries in the crash, while the man received minor injuries, troopers said.
