Ocala, FL (Augsut 20, 2018) - Two women were killed Monday in a crash on I-75 in Ocala. Police were called to the scene of the accident around 1:00 pm. According to reports, a Volkswagen driven by 22 year old Monique Morrell merged onto I-75 northbound. As the vehicle merged, it crossed over the center line into the oncoming travel lane. While in that lane, the Volkswagen struck a semi-truck head on. A third vehicle, identified as a Nissan Rogue, was also involved in the crash.
Both Morrell and her passenger were pronounced dead in the collision. Neither the driver of the semi nor anyone in the Rogue suffered injuries as a result of the crash. The deceased passenger has not been identified pending notification of her next of kin.
