Marion County Fire Rescue and EMS crews arrived on-scene to find two people entrapped in the Nissan. Both individuals were successfully extricated and trauma alerted to Ocala Regional Medical Center.

The driver of the semi was not injured.

Troopers said it was unclear who had a green light when the accident happened.

FHP Public Information Officer Sergeant Tracy Hisler-Pace said, “Because of the lack of evidence and no witnesses, no one was charged in the accident.”

Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
