A 55-year-old Palm Coast woman was killed in a car crash near Mile Marker 279 on Interstate 95.

The crash happened just after midnight on Feb. 9. For unknown reasons, an SUV driving north on I-95 in the left lane crashed into the guardrail, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. 

The SUV came to rest, disabled, facing south in the left, northbound lane. The 55-year-old woman was driving a sedan behind the SUV and collided head-on with the SUV. The SUV spun so it was facing northwest in the left shoulder while the sedan came to a stop against the left guardrails. 

The 55-year-old woman, who was not wearing a seatbelt according to the report, died. The SUV driver, a 23-year-old woman also from Palm Coast, is in serious condition. 

The FHP is still investigating the crash.
