OCALA, Fla. — Two people were killed Friday afternoon in a crash that left their vehicle pinned and burning beneath a semitruck, Ocala Fire Rescue officials said.
The crash was reported at about 4:30 p.m. in the 2000 block of NE 14th Street.
Firefighters attempted to put out a fire sparked by leaking fuel from the semitruck's gas tank, but were unable to get the driver and passenger out in time, officials said.
