The Florida Highway Patrol reports that 48-year-old Joanna Kay McKenna was driving a 2016 Ford Mustang that was traveling eastbound on the westbound lanes of SR 52. A 2012 Toyota Prius was traveling westbound when the driver spotted McKenna's vehicle coming towards it. The driver made an evasive maneuver but was unable to avoid a crash as the right front of the Ford collided with the right front of the Prius. A passenger in the Prius, 34-year-old Gina McDonnell was taken to Regional Medical Center at Bayonet Point with non-life-threatening injuries.
