Florida Highway Patrol troopers have identified the young woman killed while crossing Silver Star Road on Monday morning.
The deceased is 21-year-old Joanne Fabre, of Orlando.
Fabre had successfully crossed the eastbound lanes of Silver Star Road, but walked into the direct path of the Isuzu truck going westbound, which had a green light and the right of way.
The driver of the Isuzu truck, 25-year-old Pablo Alvarado Paloma, of Winter Park, struck Fabre, then ran over her.
Fabre was taken to the Orlando Regional Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.
The accident occurred just after 7:30 a.m.
Troopers said, the crash remains under investigation.
I hope the investigation comes with some satisfaction in favor of those who are always ignored by the truck drivers as well the crazy drivers who are driving and texting at the same time. I share the sympathy to the Fabre familly after this tragedy which will be never forgetten.
When you are traveling the speed limit on a very busy roadway and have the right away, you can’t do much when someone decides to dart out right in front of you. Stop time when traveling 45mph is not instant. Every single witness agreed that the driver could have done nothing to prevent this. There are no reports of this driver texting or doing anything distracting while driving. This is a tragic even for both people involved. Don’t jump to conclusions without knowing the facts.
