Original Story from July 31:
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a deadly crash on Philips Highway and Gran Bay Parkway Saturday morning.
According to FHP, a 60-year-old driver in a sedan was traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 1 in the center lane. The 22-year-old woman was driving westbound making a left turn from the State Road 9B exit ramp on U.S. Highway 1 in the left inside lane.
Another vehicle with a 19-year-old driver and 20-year-old passenger was also driving westbound making a left turn from State Road 9B exit ramp on U.S. Highway 1 in the center lane, according to FHP.
The 60-year-old driver hit the 22-year-old woman’s vehicle at the intersection while she was turning, FHP says.
FHP say the 60-year-old also struck the 19-year-old driver’s vehicle as they were turning left.
The 22-year-old driver was taken to hospital where she was later pronounced dead.
The 60-year-old driver sustained serious injuries, and the 19-year-old and 20-year-old in the other vehicle had minor injuries.
Here’s another look at the scene. We’ve reached out to FHP for more information, waiting to hear back. LIVE report coming up at 7:30. @ActionNewsJax pic.twitter.com/VQ26Q6TyBt
