woman died on the scene, Gainesville man transported to UF Health with serious injuries
According to a statement from Florida Highway Patrol, a 38-year-old woman died on Monday after her car overturned near State Road 6 in Hamilton County. The accident occurred at around 11:40 a.m when the sedan she was driving eastbound crossed the center line on S.R. 6 near Southwest 57th Court and drifted off the roadway.
The driver swerved back to the right but overcorrected, hitting several mailboxes before overturning and landing on its roof on a grassy shoulder. Unfortunately, the woman was not wearing her seatbelt and was ejected from the car during the crash. She died at the scene of the accident.
A Gainesville man who was riding with her also got ejected during this wreck as he wasn't wearing his seatbelt either. He suffered serious injuries and has been transported to UF Health in Gainesville for treatment.
It is still unclear what caused this fatal accident that claimed one life while leaving another seriously injured.
