The minivan became wedged underneath the tractor-trailer following the incident. Two people were extricated and transported to Holmes Regional Medical Center.

Last year in Florida, there were approximately 250,000 injury accidents reported throughout the state. Multi-vehicle accidents can be difficult to investigate and it may be challenging to determine the exact sequence of events that led to the crash. Police must carefully evaluate the crash scene in order to determine the cause of the crash and which driver should be held responsible.
