FLORIDA — A 24-year-old woman carrying an infant in a car seat was killed in a crash early Tuesday morning on State Road 46, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers said the woman was walking westbound in the travel lane near Jungle Road when she was struck by a pickup truck just after 3 a.m.
Authorities said a 58-year-old man driving a 2008 Ford F-350 was also traveling westbound on SR-46 at the time of the crash.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The infant she was carrying was not injured but was taken to Orlando Health Lake Mary as a precaution.
The driver remained at the scene and was not transported, officials said.
State Road 46 was shut down for nearly five hours following the crash but has since reopened.
The incident remains under investigation.
