SEMINOLE, Fla. — The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said a Seminole woman is dead after she was struck by a backward-moving truck towing a trailer on Thursday morning.

FHP said a Toyota Tundra, driven by a 57-year-old Seminole man, was towing an enclosed utility trailer and backing up on Bellewood Avenue North at around 10:15 a.m. on June 4.

While approaching 136th Street North, the trailer struck an 85-year-old Seminole woman who was walking eastbound along the roadway edge, according to the report.

FHP said the woman died at the scene of the crash.
