BAKER COUNTY, Fla. – 2 people were hurt in a head-on crash in Baker county Saturday afternoon, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Troopers said that around 3:45 p.m., a 2002 Chevy Blazer driven by Mary L. Rose, 58, of Cocoa, collided with a 2007 Mercury driven by Ronald E. Moore, 65, of Jacksonville. They said the Blazer tried to change lanes on I-10 eastbound west of SR-229 but the driver did not realize the right lane was occupied by a motorcyclist. The Blazer steered back to the left lane, but lost control, crossing the grass median. It traveled into the path of the Mercury, striking it head-on. Both vehicles came to a final rest on the right shoulder disabled.
