A 73-year-old Lake County woman died of a heart attack in a traffic crash Wednesday afternoon on Interstate 4.
The Groveland woman was driving a car at 3:10 p.m. eastbound on the I-4 exit ramp to State Road 436 in Altamonte Springs when she failed to stop for a vehicle in front of her, driven by a 48-year-old Apopka man, according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol. That crash set in motion a chain-reaction accident involving two more vehicles.
The Groveland woman was in cardiac arrest at the scene and emergency personnel attempted to revive her. She was transported by ambulance to Altamonte Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
