Brooksville, FL (August 16, 2018) – A 35-year-old woman lost her life on Wednesday in Brooksville when she was struck by a vehicle on State Road 50. The pedestrian fatality occurred when a Buick suddenly came out of nowhere, plowing her to the ground.
The Florida Highway Patrol identified the woman as Laura Kennedy of Brooksville. At the time, she was walking across the roadway near Fort Dale Avenue when she stepped in front of the Buick. She was taken to the Regional Medical Center where she passed away due to severe injuries.
