ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – A 66-year-old Orlando woman died after her SUV was struck by another which ran a stop sign Friday night near Lockhart, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred around 9:26 p.m. at the intersection of Apopka Boulevard and Overland Road, troopers said.
According to an FHP crash report, the woman was traveling south on Overland Road as the other SUV — occupied by a 29-year-old Orlando man driving with two passengers, a 26-year-old Apopka man and a 13-year-old Orlando boy — traveled west on Apopka Boulevard, both approaching the intersection.
