Two women were transported by ambulance from the scene of an accident at about noon today on County Road 466 in front of Southern Trace shopping plaza.
One female driver was transported to Leesburg Regional Medical Center. Also, one female passenger in a silver Ford Fusion was transported to Munroe Regional Medical Center in Ocala, according to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office which investigated the accident.
The Ford Fusion had been westbound on CR466 and went to make a U-turn to go east on CR466 at Preston Drive. There was a car traveling eastbound on CR466 and the driver decided to make a left turn onto the northbound lane of Preston Drive. That car was not involved in the accident. A black Mercedes was also traveling eastbound on CR466 and was not visible to the driver of the Ford Fusion turning east therefore, the Ford Fusion hit the black Mercedes, according to the sheriff’s office.
