HAVANA, Fla. (WTXL) - A woman has been killed and a 4-year-old has been transported to the hospital in serious condition after a two car crash in Gadsden County.

The Florida Highway Patrol said that Pamela Victor, 62, was driving westbound on East 9th Street Friday morning near the area of Southeast 8th Street.

They said that another car, carrying in it Angela Bush, an adult passenger, and a 4-year-old, was right in front of Victor.

Failing to slow down, Victor ended up hitting the back of Bush's car, causing it to cross onto the eastbound shoulder and strike a utility pole.

Troopers said that Bush didn't have a seatbelt on and was ejected from the car. The car also caught on fire.

They said that passing drivers had stopped and helped at the scene. 

Bush was transported to Gadsden Memorial Campus where she later died. The passenger in her car was also taken there for minor injuries.

Victor was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Northeast Branch in stable condition.

The 4-year-old was transported to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in critical condition.

Troopers said that charges are pending further investigation.
