A vehicle overturned on Interstate 95 in Vero Beach this morning, causing a female passenger to lose her life. The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the scene.
50-year-old Silvana Lopez was identified as the woman who lost her life from Fort Worth. She was the only one not wearing a seatbelt in the vehicle at the time. The other two passengers in the vehicle sustained serious injuries. The driver only received minor injuries. All three were quickly taken to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center in Fort Pierce for treatment.
The crash happened around 9:45 a.m. when 23-year-old Mariana Orellana was traveling north in her vehicle and suddenly lost control of her vehicle. Police have determined that alcohol was not a factor in the crash. However, it is still being investigated at this time.
