An Ormond Beach woman was killed Wednesday morning after the car she was a passenger in was involved in a crash with a speeding car, according to police.
Authorities identified the victim as Mary Pezza, 26.
Shortly before 8 a.m., police and fire and rescue crews responded to a major crash on SR A1A between Harvard Drive and Milsap Road in Ormond Beach.
Officers learned that a Honda Accord being driven by Wyatt Dickerson, 26, of Daytona Beach, was speeding northbound on SR A1A as it approached the Kia Pezza was traveling in. As a result, the Honda crashed into the Kia, sending the Kia airborne and into the southbound lanes.
Pezza died of her injuries. The driver of the Kia was taken to a local hospital in serious condition, police said. Dickerson was not hurt.
