Update: Troopers say a 36-year-old Orange Park woman is dead following a crash early Tuesday morning.
The woman's identity has not been released pending next of kin notification.
FHP said she was driving a Toyota Sequoia eastbound on I-10 near Chaffee Road, when she lost control and collided with a guardrail. The SUV reportedly went though the guardrail to the westbound side of traffic and began to flip, ejecting the driver.
The woman was then hit by a tractor trailer, troopers stated.
