A 62-year-old woman died after she was thrown from her car during a crash on Interstate 75 on Saturday, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
The Summerfield, Fla., woman was a passenger in a SUV driven by a 58-year-old man. About 8:45 a.m., on northbound I-75 between State Road 64 and U.S. 301, the driver swerved to avoid an object in the roadway, but the vehicle “rotated and overturned,” FHP said.
The woman was thrown from the vehicle during the crash. She was taken to Blake Medical Center, where she later died.
The driver was hospitalized in serious condition, FHP said.
