Staff report from Alachua County Fire Rescue release
HAWTHORNE, Fla. – At about 6:52 p.m. on December 27, units from Alachua County Fire Rescue (ACFR) and the Windsor Fire Department were dispatched to a reported vehicle accident with entrapment on U.S. Hwy 301 and CR 1474, north of Hawthorne.
Upon arrival, units found a three-vehicle accident with one vehicle overturned in the ditch; the driver of that vehicle was entrapped, but crews extricated the patient within five minutes.
Two of the three patients were transported to Shands UF Trauma Center. The accident is currently under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), and we will update this article if FHP sends out a release with more information.
ACFR would like to remind everyone to slow down and always wear your seat belt.
