A two-vehicle crash at a rural intersection in northwestern Marion County killed two people in one car, while four others in a separate vehicle walked away unharmed on Friday.

One of the people not injured in the accident, 24-year-old Benjamin Sanchez Perez, the driver of one of the vehicles, was arrested by Florida Highway Patrol troopers for not having a valid driver's license.

According to troopers, a 2001 F-250 pickup truck with four occupants — Sanchez Perez, Kedin L. Lopez, 20; Jose Luis Ramirez, 42; and Serafin Perez, 29 — was heading westbound on County Road 326 approaching a yellow flashing light at County Road 225.

A second vehicle, a 2014 Nissan Maxima being driven by Linda Jean Bruce, 54, of Ocala, was traveling southbound on CR 225, coming to a red flashing light.

Authorities said Bruce's Maxima went through the flashing red light and the truck slammed into the driver's side of the Maxima.

Upon impact, both vehicles traveled to the southwest corner of the intersection. The truck was able to stop approximately 15 to 20 yards into a thick wooded open lot. The car stopped just short of the same wood line.

The truck narrowly missed a wooden cross with flowers that marked the spot where motorcyclist Jesus Tapia, 35, had been struck and killed by a car the morning of Oct. 11, 2011.

Marion County Fire Rescue officials were called to the location and, once there, tried extricating Bruce and an unidentified male passenger but were unsuccessful. Life support equipment was placed on Bruce and the man, officials on the scene said, but the two were pronounced dea
