Casselberry police officers responded to the intersection of State Road 436 and Fern Park Blvd. late Friday evening after receiving reports of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle.
Upon arrival, they found a 51-year-old woman unresponsive in the middle of westbound traffic on SR-436. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene by Seminole County Fire Rescue. Westbound traffic was shut down at Fern Park Blvd. for several hours, which was used as a bypass.
The identity of the deceased is pending family notification.
The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
Authorities said the preliminary investigation shows the driver had a green light, but the woman attempted to cross the road, violating the red hand/do not cross signal.
No charges are expected.
