An FHP crash report shows the 22-year-old was traveling north on US-1 in the outside lane as a van traveled in the same direction in the inside lane.

According to the FHP, the woman switched from the outside lane to the inside lane, striking the van, driven by a 39-year-old Melbourne man.

The wreck caused a domino effect, and as a result, the Palm Bay woman crossed over the median and entered the southbound lanes of US-1, striking a 49-year-old Melbourne man driving in the center lane, investigators said.

The woman died at the scene, troopers said.

According to the crash report, the other two drivers were not injured and remained at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation.
