Car Crash Orlando Florida in Orlando, Florida: An Orlando police officer driving a marked Ford Explorer SUV entered an intersection at Hoffner Avenue and Semoran Boulevard and collided with a Jeep, killing 92-year-old Milagros Ortiz. The officer had stopped in a left turn lane and waited about a minute and a half before proceeding; his emergency lights turned on then went dark just before impact, and a witness reported hearing no sirens. The State Attorney's Office closed the case without charges, citing the cruiser's documented history of emergency lights and sirens issues. Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz called on Police Chief Eric Smith to address fleet maintenance concerns.
