PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. – A woman died and six others -- including four children -- were injured Friday night in a rollover crash off County Road 309 in Putnam County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers said a 60-year-old woman was killed, and a 27-year-old passenger was in serious condition.
The 24-year-old driver and four children ages 10 and younger suffered minor injuries, according to the report.
Only a 1-year-old was in a child restraint or seat belt, the report said. No one else in the SUV was wearing a seat belt.

The SUV rotated, ran off the other side of the road, flipped and hit a tree.
The four children and three adults in the SUV were all thrown from the vehicle in the crash, troopers said.
