In the early morning of July 4, a Cape Canaveral woman was fatally injured in a Florida car crash, near the Palm Beach county line.
Shortly after 5:00 a.m. a 63-year-old woman, whose name has not yet been released, was traveling in the northbound inside lane of Interstate 95. As she was driving north in her 2006 Chevy Impala about four miles south of the Bridge Road exit to Hobe Sound, she struck a 2011 Hyundai Sonata.
The Chevy's front left side struck the front left side of the Hyundai, driven by Kandace Keeling, 23, of Jensen Beach.
The impact pushed Keeling's car onto the shoulder, while the Chevy was forced into another northbound lane. A 2008 Dodge Ram, driven by Patrick Stone, 26, of Vero Beach, then struck the woman's Chevy.
Stone suffered minor injuries in the accident. Keeling was transported to St. Mary's Medical Center in serious condition. The woman in the Chevy died at the scene. Troopers are still attempting to notify her family of the incident.
Florida Highway Patrol investigators suspect that Keeling's car may have been traveling the wrong way at the time of the accident, but this has not yet been confirmed.
The involvement of drugs or alcohol has not been confirmed.
