A 24-year-old Orlando woman was killed early Tuesday morning after being struck by a pickup truck while walking in the path of a vehicle in Seminole County, the Florida Highway Patrol says.
The crash occurred just after 3 a.m. near the intersection of State Road 46 and Jungle Road.
According to FHP, the woman was walking westbound in the westbound travel lane, carrying a car seat with an infant, when a 2008 Ford F-350 — also traveling westbound — struck her from behind.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The 58-year-old Winter Springs man driving the pickup was not injured and remained on scene, troopers said.
The infant was not injured in the crash but was transported to the hospital as a precautionary measure, according to the FHP report.
The crash remains under investigation.
