A 63-year-old Greenacres woman was killed in a crash on Florida's Turnpike near Vero Beach Saturday night.

At 6:58 p.m. traffic was stopped on the turnpike in the southbound lanes in the area of mile marker 173 due to a previous unrelated crash.

A vehicle approached the stopped traffic and failed to stop, colliding with a pickup truck, killing the passenger, a 63-year-old woman from Greenacres and seriously injuring the driver, a 75-year-old Greenacres man.

She was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The crash caused a chain reaction that damaged six other vehicles.

The case is still pending investigation.
