A 63-year-old Geneva woman was killed after failing to stop at a flashing red light and collided with a pick-up at the intersection of Mullet Lake Park Road and West Osceola Road in Seminole County, troopers said.
Connie Lou Stowers was heading northbound on Mullet Lake Park Road on Wednesday just after 1:00 pm, when she entered the path of a Dodge pick-up driven by 31-year-old Michael T. Vieu, at the intersection of West Osceola Road. Troopers said, Stowers failed to stop at a stop sign/flashing red light.
Vieu’s pick-up struck Stowers’ Honda Accord which traveled off the roadway and through a fence. The pick-up rotated and struck a utility pole before coming to a final stop.
