A woman died after she crashed into an abandoned car on I-275 on Monday.
The Florida Highway Patrol said around 12:49 p.m., the 26-year-old was driving a Kia Sportage south near Waters Avenue when she lost control for unknown reasons. She then entered the outside shoulder and collided with a Dodge Dart that was abandoned on the right shoulder of I-275.
The Dodge was propelled across the highway before it came to a final rest along the inside shoulder, while the SUV was overturned on the outside shoulder.
The woman was taken to a local hospital, where she later passed away from her injuries.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
