Traffic Accidents
Southwest Florida’s rainy season is officially here, and with it comes a sharp increase in wet road hazards. From June through September, sudden downpours, flooded lanes, and low visibility are part of daily life. These storms often arrive fast, reduce traction instantly, and cause drivers to hydroplane or lose control—especially on rural highways and high-speed thoroughfares.On roads like Burnt Store Road in Lee County, where traffic mixes with heavy trucks and narrow shoulders, even a brief storm can create deadly conditions.
Unfortunately, one such tragedy unfolded just this week.
Cape Coral Woman Killed in Crash on Burnt Store Road
Lee County, FL — June 3, 2025 — A tragic collision claimed the life of a 56-year-old woman from Cape Coral Tuesday evening in a crash involving a Ford sedan and a semi-truck along County Road 765 (Burnt Store Road), near Vincent Avenue.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the woman was driving southbound around 5:05 p.m. when she lost control on wet pavement. Her sedan rotated and veered into the northbound lane, where it was struck on the side by a semi-truck hauling a car trailer.
The woman was pronounced deceased at the scene. Authorities have not released her name but confirmed her family has been notified.
The truck was driven by a 42-year-old man from Hialeah, with a 24-year-old passenger from Miami. Both men suffered minor injuries and were reportedly wearing seatbelts. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
