MARION COUNTY, Fla. – An 81-year-old Ocala man was killed in a crash Saturday morning in Marion County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The two-vehicle crash occurred around 8:50 a.m. at the intersection of State Road 40 and SW 113th Circle, troopers said.
According to an FHP crash report, the 81-year-old man was driving a sedan southbound on SW 113th Circle, approaching the intersection of S.R. 40, as a 46-year-old Ocala man drove a pickup truck and a trailer westbound in the inside lane of the state road.
The sedan’s driver attempted to make a left turn onto S.R. 40, crossing the westbound lanes and entering the direct path of the pickup truck, the report states.
The front of the truck hit the left side of the sedan as a result, troopers said.
The 81-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene by Marion County’s fire-rescue chief, according to the report. Troopers believe the man was not wearing a seat belt during the crash.
