A 20-year-old Palm Bay woman was killed in a late-night crash on Interstate 95 in Titusville, according to authorities. The wreck happened around 11:52 p.m. Sunday in the southbound lanes near mile marker 214.
Investigators said a 58-year-old man was driving a 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-350 in the center lane when he saw an alligator in the roadway but could not avoid it. The front left side of the Mercedes hit the animal.
Authorities said the woman, driving a 2004 Toyota Tacoma behind the Mercedes, swerved in an attempt to avoid the vehicle and lost control of the pickup. The Tacoma overturned, and the woman was ejected into the center lane. Investigators said she was not wearing a seat belt.
After the rollover, an unidentified vehicle struck the woman and left the scene, authorities said. She was pronounced dead at the crash site.
No name was released in the available information. The hit-and-run portion of the crash remained under investigation, and no additional details about the departing vehicle were provided in the verified facts.
