Man driving without a license struck an Apopka police car near Parramore on Wednesday, Florida Highway Patrol troopers said.

Margarito Hernandez, 31, of Orlando was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center with serious injuries. He was ticketed for careless driving and having no valid driver’s license. FHP Sgt. Kim Montes said he never obtained a driver’s license.

Montes said Hernandez was driving on Orange Blossom Trail near Central Boulevard. Apopka Police Officer Ariel Carrion, 38, was driving in the opposite direction.

Hernandez struck the back of a vehicle driven by Leslie Cochran of Leesburg after failing to stop at the intersection, Montes said. He tried to make a left turn onto Central Boulevard but pulled in front of Carrion, who was driving a marked patrol car. Carrion couldn’t stop in time and hit the right side of Hernandez’s car.

Cochran, 50, was transported to Florida Hospital in Apopka with minor injuries. Carrion also suffered minor injuries.
