Palm Bay Woman Killed In I-95 Crash

A fiery 4-vehicle crash on I-95 Thursday in Brevard County claimed the life of a woman from Palm Bay. The Florida Highway Patrol says it happened just before 6 last evening in the southbound lanes of Interstate 95 near mile marker 174 in Palm Bay. Troopers say a Chevy Cruz was in the outside lane and failed to brake in time for a Toyota FJ Cruiser that was stopped ahead. The Chevy crashed into the Toyota, and then went into the center lane, where a truck pulling a trailer crashed into it. Police say the Chevy was pushed off the road into the guardrail, where it burst into flames. Debris from the crash hit an SUV. The 44 year old woman from Palm Bay who was driving the Chevy was killed. Nobody else in any of the other vehicles was hurt. The highway was blocked until almost 10 last night. The crash remains under investigation.
