SUV overturned in wreck at Good Homes and White roads

At approximately 10:15 a.m. March 26, a red Kia Pride was traveling southbound on Good Homes Road with a green light at the intersection with White Road. A tan Nissan Pathfinder simultaneously made a right turn on red from the west side of the intersection into the southbound lane.

The left side of the Pathfinder brushed with the right side of the Pride as the intersection ended and the road narrowed.

Although the Pride driver maintained control and immediately turned right into the Circle K at the southwest corner of the intersection, the Pathfinder hopped the curb on its right and tipped onto its left side.

Several onlookers called 911 and checked on the Pathfinder along with the driver of the Pride. Both vehicles seemed to hold only drivers, no passengers.

The Pride driver seemed unharmed, with just a dent on the right side of the car, but the Pathfinder driver was possibly stuck in her seat for almost 25 minutes while emergency personnel attended to the scene.

Orange County Sheriff's Office deputies directed traffic away from the southern lanes of the intersection while Ocoee and Orange County fire rescue units began securing the Pathfinder to the ground from its bottom, which was facing away from the street.

Emergency crews cut through the windshield and roof of the Pathfinder with power-saws and then helped the driver to a gurney. The driver received transport to a nearby medical facility via an Orange County Fire Rescue ambulance. She seemed shaken but conscious, responsive and able to get to the gurney on mostly her power.

No further details are available at press time.
