One man was killed and another injured in a three-vehicle crash on Southwest State Road 200 Friday morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol did not release the name of the deceased, pending notification of family members.
Troopers on scene said a car was eastbound on SR 200 about three miles from the Citrus County line. Meanwhile, Ford F-150 pickup and a GMC sport utility vehicle were westbound.
For an unknown reason, the car veered left and into the westbound lane, troopers said. It sideswiped the SUV, causing the driving, a woman, to lose control of the vehicle. It overturned.
The car continued into the westbound lane, where it struck the pickup, which rolled over onto the passenger side.
Troopers said the driver of the car, identified initially only as a man, was killed. The man driving the pickup was taken to Ocala Regional Medical Center in serious condition.
The driver of the SUV and her male passenger had minor injuries, troopers said.
Marion County firefighters on scene said they were dispatched at 5:58 a.m. and arrived at 6:04 a.m.
