Pedestrian dies in Lakewood Ranch crash
A 74-year-old woman was killed after a crash on Lakewood Ranch Boulevard on Tuesday morning.
Around 9:30 a.m., a 2017 Nissan Titan struck and killed Virginia Morrison as she attempted to cross the street. The Titan was traveling north on Health Park Way when the 50-year-old driver made a left turn and hit Morrison.
Morrison was taken to Doctors Hospital of Sarasota, where she was pronounced dead as a result of her injuries.
It was just one of two crashes to occur on the road Tuesday. Another shut down Lakewood Ranch Boulevard north of the fatal crash site for hours.
The case remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.
