ISLAMORADA, Fla. (AP) — A multiple-vehicle crash in the Florida Keys killed four women who were visiting from Spain.
The Miami Herald reports that the crash shut down U.S. 1 in Islamorada for most of Monday afternoon.
The Florida Highway Patrol says an SUV was attempting to make a left turn when a truck carrying portable toilets hit the vehicle from behind, pushing it into the oncoming lane. A large recreational vehicle hit the SUV, which then hit a tree.
Killed were the SUV's driver, 31-year-old Margarita Cortes-Pardo, and three passengers, 31-year-old Maria Lopez-Bermejo Rossello, 30-year-old Teresa Sanchez Quetglas and 31-year-old Ana Gaitan Diaz.
Two people in the RV and the driver of the truck sustained minor injuries.
