A Lake County man escaped serious injury in a crash in which two people were killed Wednesday morning in Osceola County.
The 36-year-old Groveland man had been driving a 2016 Ford F-150 pickup truck at 9:22 a.m. on State Road 60 when a 63-year-old Fort Pierce man driving a 2017 Hyundai Elantra was traveling in the opposite direction while attempting to pass a semi truck, according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
The Hyundai Elanta entered the direct path of the Ford F-150 pickup and the two vehicles collided.
The Fort Pierce man and a 62-year-old female passenger, also from Fort Pierce, both died as a result of the crash. The Groveland man and a 37-year-old male passenger from St. Petersburg both suffered minor injuries.
The investigation into the crash blocked traffic from both directions on State Road 60, from the Polk County line to U.S. Hwy. 441, the report said.
