HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. – A two-vehicle collision at a Hernando County intersection left a Brooksville woman dead on Monday afternoon.
According to Florida state troopers, the accident happened at approximately 12:20 p.m. A 74-year-old woman from Brooksville was driving a Honda CRV northbound on Lockhart Road when she approached the intersection of State Road 50. At the same time, a 35-year-old Spring Hill man was driving eastbound on SR-50 in a Ford F250.
