Saw the fire from this one yesterday from my office window. :steer
A woman in her 20s and two young girls were taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center with injuries after a Mustang rear-ended a tanker and caught fire on Interstate 75 south of Ocala.
The fiery crash, which occurred around 2 p.m., caused traffic backups on the northbound lanes of the interstate for about an hour and a half.
The woman driver of the Mustang and the girls, ages 2 and 4, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to Florida Highway Patrol officials on scene.
Their names were not immediately available. The truck, which a trooper said appeared to be hauling ash, belongs to CCC Transportation LLC out of Auburndale.
Troopers said the Mustang appeared to drive under the tanker while it was traveling on the interstate. Charges were pending.
