A 60-year-old Bradenton woman has died after an accident on State Road 70 on June 21, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

The woman died from her injuries on Monday, FHP said.

Troopers say the initial crash occurred near the intersection of State Road 70 and 39th Street East around 1:40 p.m. on June 21 when the victim was hit from behind.

Both vehicles came to a stop and when the woman left her vehicle to talk with the other driver, a 28-year-old Palmetto woman crashed into the two other vehicles.

The impact of the crash caused one of the vehicles to strike the victim.

Troopers say the crash remains under investigation.
