Four people were taken to the hospital Thursday morning after a major crash in Deltona left a sedan wedged into the corner of a house and an SUV wrapped around a tree. The wreck shut down a stretch of North Normandy Boulevard for hours as crews worked the scene.
The crash happened around 10:38 a.m. on North Normandy Boulevard, between Swallow Street and Elkcam Boulevard, according to the Volusia Sheriff's Office, as reported by WESH. Preliminary information indicated a black sedan and a red SUV were involved, with the sedan striking the corner of a house while the SUV hit a tree head-on.
The sedan's driver and one occupant of the SUV were transported to the hospital as trauma alerts, deputies said. Two other people involved in the crash were also taken to the hospital, though their injuries appeared to be minor, according to the same report.
Road Closed for Hours as Crews Respond
North Normandy Boulevard was shut down between Swallow Street and Elkcam Boulevard, including side streets within that area, deputies said. The closure was expected to last several hours as crews responded to the scene, and the cause of the crash remained under investigation.
The wreck is the latest to draw attention to North Normandy Boulevard, where residents have separately told Fox 35 Orlando that drivers often speed or race along the corridor. That report described a different incident in which a family's home was left badly damaged after a driver they suspected of speeding lost control and crashed into it, and noted that a driver had also crashed into a neighbor's home just two doors down the previous October. Neither of those earlier incidents has been tied to Thursday's crash, and no cause has been confirmed in either case.
