Orlando, FL (January 21, 2026) – A collision between a sedan and a semitruck early Tuesday morning led to a fire and sent three people to local hospitals, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred when a 2003 Honda Accord traveling southbound on S Orange Blossom Trl attempted to make a left turn onto Consulate Dr. During the maneuver, the vehicle collided with the left side of an eastbound 2025 double tractor-trailer. The impact caused both vehicles to erupt in flames, triggering a rapid response from emergency crews.
First responders arrived quickly to battle the fire and render aid. Two individuals were transported to HCA Hunter’s Creek, and a third was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center. All three victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
The intersection remained shut down for several hours as firefighters and road crews worked to extinguish the blaze and clear debris. While two southbound lanes have since reopened, northbound lanes are expected to remain closed for an extended period due to continued cleanup efforts and roadway damage.
The Florida Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the cause of the crash.
We extend our best wishes to those injured and hope for their full and speedy recovery.
