Middleburg, FL (November 2, 2019) – On Friday morning, November 1, a woman was reportedly struck by two vehicles and killed in a fatal crash on County Road 218.

At the time of the incident, an 81-year-old woman who has since been identified as Louise Gonzalez was attempting to walk across the street when she was struck by the driver of a Ford Ranger who was traveling west.

The woman immediately was thrown into an eastbound lane of traffic where she was then struck by a Honda. Gonzalez did not survive her injuries and tragically died at the scene of the collision.

Neither of the drivers had injuries stemming from the accident. The roadway was closed down following the collision and did not reopen for several hours.

The investigation into the accident is ongoing.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
