East Naples, FL (November 16, 2018) - A 94 year old woman died on Friday, four days after she was struck by a vehicle in East Naples. The original crash took place on Monday, November 12th.
Pamela Brown Rae was walking on Lely Palms Drive around 1:05 pm when she was struck by a Toyota Camry. The Camry driver, 95 year old Victor Emil Nielson, struck Rae as he was backing out of his driveway. Nielson left the scene of the crash but later returned and told police that he did not know he had struck Rae. Rae was found lying in the middle of the road.
She was transported to the hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.
The Florida Highway Patrol is still investigating the incident.
