Port St. Lucie, FL (June 20, 2019) - A 27-year-old woman is dead and another person is hurt following a two-car, head-on crash in Port St. Lucie on Wednesday, June 19th.
The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the scene around 11:43 a.m. on Glades Cutoff Road, near I-95. Troopers say that 27-year-old Jamie Tindall-Woodham was driving northbound when her 2017 Ford Cargo van crossed over the yellow line and into the path of a semi-tractor traveling southbound. The two vehicles collided with one another, causing Woodham's van to catch fire. She was pronounced dead at the scene after being trapped inside the van. The truck driver, 66-year-old Heliodoro Balcazar sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries in the crash.
