MIDDLEBURG, Fla. – A woman was struck by two vehicles and killed Friday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash happened after 5 a.m. on County Road 218 near Country Estates Road, according to FHP.
Troopers said Louise Gonzalez, 81, was walking across C.R. 218 when she was struck by a Ford Ranger traveling west on C.R. 218. Troopers said the woman then fell into the eastbound lane, where she was hit by a Honda Insight.

The drivers of the two vehicles were reported uninjured.
C.R. 218 was shut down for hours between Mallard Road and Carter Spencer Road and FHP asked drivers to find an alternate route. The road reopened at 10 a.m.
