A 78-year-old Wesley Chapel woman and 59-year-old Port Richey man were injured in a crash on SR-56 Monday that happened at 11:11 am.

Troopers were on the scene of an overturned gravel truck at the intersection of State Road 56 and Cypress Ridge Blvd, just east of Interstate 75 in Pasco County.

Troopers say a Freightliner gravel truck was struck by a Ford SUV, driven by the Wesley Chapel woman, that was changing lanes.

There were injuries, and both drivers were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries.

Crews are on-scene working to remove the gravel and open the roadway.
