A 73-year-old woman was killed and a 38-year-old woman was seriously injured Friday in a crash at U.S. 1 and Las Calinas Boulevard, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The crash involved a pickup truck and a sedan. FHP said the pickup was traveling south in the left-turn lane on U.S. 1 north of Las Calinas Boulevard, while the sedan was traveling north in the left travel lane south of the intersection.

The pickup driver, a 16-year-old boy, failed to observe the approaching sedan while attempting to turn left, FHP said. The front of the sedan struck the right side of the pickup.

The 73-year-old woman, a passenger in the sedan, later died at a local hospital. The sedan’s 38-year-old driver was seriously injured. A 2-year-old boy in the sedan suffered minor injuries, according to FHP.

The pickup driver was not injured.
