A 53-year-old Port Orange woman was killed the morning of Dec. 28 when her sedan rear-ended a semitruck on Interstate 95. 

The woman was driving directly behind the semitrailer in the center northbound lane of I-95 when the crash happened, according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol. The semitruck was slowing down for traffic ahead but the sedan failed to slow, the report said. 

The front end of the sedan hit the back of the trailer and became lodged underneath it as the two vehicles continued forward in the center lane, the report said. Eventually, both vehicles came to a stop in the center lane, with the sedan still lodged underneath the trailer. The truck driver was not injured in the accident.
