By: FL Accident News Blog as Blog Post

Lake City, FL (May 5, 2019) - A 63-year-old pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash that took place along US-90 on Sunday, May 5th.  

The Florida Highway Patrol says that Charles Zang was walking along a turn lane on US-90 when a vehicle driven by 39-year-old Shannon Curry approached. Curry maneuvered her vehicle into the lane in an effort to turn left onto I-75 South. As Curry merged into the turn lane, she struck Zang. Zang was seriously hurt and was rushed to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries.  

All westbound lanes of US-90 remained closed for several hours following the crash. They have since been re-opened.
