Marion firefighters rescue driver trapped in SUV in Ocala

Crews from Marion County Fire Rescue responded to a rollover crash early Tuesday morning where a victim was trapped in a vehicle.

Four units from Marion County Fire Rescue responded to a crash in the 4200 block of Maricamp Road early Tuesday morning. A trapped driver was rescued from an overturned SUV.

The first of four units arrived on scene of the two-vehicle crash in the 4200 block of SE Maricamp Road at 7:24 a.m. Paramedics treated patients in one vehicle while firefighters worked to remove a driver who was trapped in a small SUV that was on its side, a report says.

Firefighters were forced to remove the windshield to free the driver of the SUV. That patient was evaluated by paramedics and refused transport to a local hospital, the report says.
