A 2012 Ford F-250 was traveling westbound on US-90 in the inside travel lane approaching the intersection of CR-197A with a red traffic signal. A 2008 Ford Explorer was traveling South from CR-197A to eastbound US-90 with a green traffic signal. A 1999 Honda Accord was stopped eastbound on US-90 in the inside left turn lane for northbound CR-197A for a red traffic signal. A 2007 Ford F-150 was also stopped eastbound on US-90 in the outside left turn lane for northbound CR-197A. The driver of the Ford F-250 failed to observe the red traffic signal as the Ford Explorer was conducting the left turn. The front of the F-250 collided with the left side of the Explorer. After collision, the Explorer continued to travel South and into an area containing brush and light vegitation, where it came to final rest facing south. The F-250 was redirected slightly to the South and continued to travel West. The front of the F-250 collided with the front of the Accord causing it to travel westward and onto a concrete divider, pushing it out of the way. The F-250 continued traveling where the front left of the F-250 collided with the left side of the F-150. Upon arrival all vehicles were at their final resting point.

The driver of the Ford Explorer, Angela Long, 49, of Pace, Florida, was pronounced deceased. Charges are pending completion of theTraffic Homicide Investigation. The Florida Highway Patrol Traffic Homicide Division is investigating the cause of the crash.
