A woman was killed and two others were seriously injured in a crash Monday night that shut down Hiawassee Road in Orange County for hours, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash happened around 11:21 p.m. near Nestor Street in Pine Hills.
According to a crash report, a 2022 Toyota RAV-4 was heading south on Hiawassee when the driver, a 54-year-old Orlando woman, attempted a left turn onto Nestor Street and went into the path of an oncoming 2024 Buick Enclave.
The front of the Toyota collided with the front of the Buick, which then went off the roadway and struck a tree, troopers said.
The 54-year-old Orlando woman and a passenger in the Buick, another 54-year-old Orlando woman, were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
The driver of the Buick, a 50-year-old Orlando woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. The crash report said she was not wearing a seatbelt.
The roadway was shut down but later reopened.
An investigation is ongoing.
