An Orlando woman was forced into a car accident by another driver who drove abruptly into her path and then fled the scene, police say. As she tried to avoid a collision, her SUV flipped and the woman was dealt life-threatening injuries.
The single-vehicle crash occurred on the westbound exit ramp from Interstate 4 to Sand Lake Road in Orlando. The 35-year-old woman was exiting the freeway in her Jeep Wrangler when another vehicle that had already passed the exit zone swerved onto the exit and cut in front of her.

According to Orlando police investigators, the other vehicle, which they believe was a white Toyota or Honda sedan-style car, had already crossed beyond the proper area to change lanes and exit the freeway. In order to exit, the vehicle crossed “through the safety gore and into the path of” the Orlando woman’s Jeep.

The woman took evasive action to try to avoid the car accident, but her Jeep struck a raised concrete barrier and flipped over. The Jeep landed in the outside lane of westbound I-4.
The woman was described by police as having life-threatening injuries. She was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center.
Police have not been able to identify the driver of the white Honda or Toyota sedan. As they cannot identify a suspect, no charges are currently pending against the reckless driver.
Anyone with information about the driver who caused the SUV rollover accident on I-4 should contact Orlando police.
