A 3-year-old girl was killed and a toddler is in serious condition after a wreck Sunday morning in St. Lucie County.

The Florida Highway Patrol said a 2003 Acura TL was traveling westbound on Midway Road in the outside lane approaching Glades Cut Off Road at 8:07 a.m.

A 1999 Honda Accord was slowing down on Midway Road in the westbound, outside lane to make a right turn onto Glades Cut Off Road.

A 2016 Chevrolet Silverado was stopped at a steady red traffic signal facing westbound on Midway Road in the outside lane at Glades Cut Off Road.

FHP said the driver of the Acura failed to slow down and collided with the rear of the Accord.

The Acura overturned onto its left side and continued traveling westbound. The front of the Acura collided with the rear of the Chevy.

Zyanna Laguerre, 3, of Fort Pierce, a passenger in the Honda Accord, died in the wreck.  A 1-year-old girl, who was a passenger in the Accord, suffered serious injuries.

The driver of the Accord and the driver of the Silverado both suffered minor injuries.
