Bryceville, FL (February 28, 2020) – Florida Highway Patrol confirmed that a fatal pedestrian accident took place on US-301 in Bryceville that took the life of one woman.

The FHP report stated that a Toyota was headed south on the highway when it suddenly struck two horses that were standing on the highway. The horses were immediately killed from the forceful collision.

A woman identified as 38-year-old Millisa Nault, driving a Hyundai, witnessed the accident and stopped to help. She started walking over to the other driver when a red Kia Forte suddenly struck one of the dead horses. The Kia flipped over, which struck Nault and her vehicle. There was a 15-year-old passenger in the Hyundai.

The 15-year-old daughter got out of the vehicle and attempted to save Nault but was unable to do so. She tragically died at the scene of the accident.
