NEWBERRY ‒ A 63-year-old Newberry woman was killed Monday morning after another vehicle turned into her path, causing a collision that sent her car off the road and into a tree, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred around 7:33 a.m. on April 7, 2025, at the intersection of State Road 121 and Southwest 137th Avenue, south of Newberry. The woman was driving a sedan southbound on SR 121 when a sport utility vehicle, driven by a 77-year-old Archer woman, attempted to turn left onto the highway from 137th Avenue and struck the sedan.
The impact forced the Newberry woman’s vehicle off the road, where it crashed into a tree. She was wearing a seatbelt at the time and was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
The SUV’s driver and a 52-year-old male passenger sustained non-life-threatening injuries. A 45-year-old female passenger in the SUV was not injured. All three occupants of the SUV are Archer residents, and all were wearing seatbelts.
The Florida Highway Patrol’s Traffic Homicide Investigation Unit is continuing to investigate the crash. The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office and Alachua County Fire Rescue also responded to the scene.
The names of those involved have not yet been released, pending notification of next of kin.
