Lake County, FL (October 6, 2018) - A woman died in a crash on US 27 on Friday, October 5th. The 42-year-old woman, who has not been identified at this time, was traveling in the northbound lanes of the roadway when the fatal crash occurred.
Florida Highway Patrol reports that the woman crashed her car into the back of a van before veering into oncoming traffic in the southbound lanes. Once in the southbound lanes, she struck a pickup truck head-on before her car rolled over and caught on fire. Troopers have not said what caused the crash at this time.
The woman died from injuries sustained in the accident. Two people inside the van she struck suffered minor injuries. The driver of the pickup truck that was hit head-on suffered serious injuries and was transported to Celebration Hospital for treatment.
An investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
