A 30-year-old Ohio woman was killed late Friday morning in a single-vehicle crash in Bradford County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The SUV was heading south in the inside lane of U.S. 301 when the driver tried to pass a tractor-trailer as it was changing lanes, troopers said.

The driver swerved to avoid a collision, veered into the grass median and hit a concrete culvert, which launched the SUV into the air, according to the crash report.

The SUV flipped several times and the driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle, troopers said.

Two passengers — a 28-year-old man and 50-year-old woman, both from Ohio — suffered serious injuries in the wreck.
