Ormond Beach, FL (September 20, 2025) – Emergency responders were dispatched Friday morning, September 19, to a vehicle accident with injuries on the eastbound ramp near the Saxon off-ramp in Ormond Beach. The crash was reported at approximately 10:30 a.m., and involved at least one vehicle that crashed while transitioning from the ramp.
Volusia County Fire and EMS units, including Engine 2, responded quickly to the scene to assess injuries and provide medical aid. At least one person was reported hurt and received on-site treatment. It is not yet clear whether the individual was transported to a hospital or treated at the scene.
The crash occurred on a highway ramp commonly used by drivers entering or exiting the eastbound lanes near Saxon. These ramps are known for tight curves and limited merging visibility, which can lead to high-impact crashes—especially when speeds are not adjusted for the ramp’s design or weather conditions.
Officials have not released information regarding the cause of the crash or the number of vehicles involved. Investigators are reviewing factors such as vehicle speed, driver behavior, and possible mechanical issues.
We extend our well wishes to the injured party and hope for their swift recovery.
Off-Ramp Accidents and Safety Challenges in Florida
Highway ramp crashes, like the one reported near the Saxon off-ramp in Ormond Beach, present unique dangers for Florida drivers. Tight turning radii, inconsistent signage, and sudden speed changes often contribute to loss of control or rear-end collisions at entry and exit points.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), many ramp-related accidents occur when drivers fail to slow appropriately or misjudge the curvature of the ramp. In some cases, distracted driving or improper lane use also plays a role in these crashes.
These incidents often lead to single-vehicle impacts, such as hitting guardrails, or rear-end collisions when traffic is backed up. Even at moderate speeds, off-ramp crashes can result in significant injuries to occupants due to the abrupt nature of the impact and limited space for recovery.
Emergency crews are specially trained to respond to such high-risk areas, ensuring rapid stabilization of the injured and managing traffic to prevent further incidents. However, victims of these accidents are encouraged to follow up with medical providers, document all injuries and damages, and understand their options for recovery.
If you or someone close to you was involved in a ramp-related crash in Ormond Beach, early action is crucial for both physical and financial recovery.
