Troopers said the semi truck behind her didn't stop, and hit the back of her car.
Her car then crashed into the semi truck in front of her.
The driver of the semi truck behind Fortner's Corolla had minor injuries after the crash.
The driver's company sent Action News Jax a statement:
While we are saddened by the loss of Ms. Fortner's life in yesterday's tragic accident, this is an ongoing/active investigation and we are not able to comment at this time."
Troopers said charges are pending.
Cars also hit semi truck in front of her Corolla. Charges are pending in the crash and SB lanes are still shut down https://t.co/GE5vbwXWuL https://t.co/uIrAjM4Lm1
