OCALA — A Sparr woman was pronounced dead and a 2-year-old toddler is in serious condition after a single-vehicle crash early Sunday morning according to Florida Highway Patrol reports.<\/p>\n
Responders with the Marion County Fire Rescue team and troopers responded to the scene at approximately 1:50 a.m. where they found the toddler standing near the overturned vehicle.<\/p>\n
According to reports, 25-year-old Jasmine Williams was traveling north on NE Jacksonville Road at excessive speeds in a 2007 Pontiac G6 with the toddler in the vehicle when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n
Williams reportedly failed to negotiate a left curve and the vehicle left the roadway onto the grassy shoulder.<\/p>\n
She then overcorrected back toward the road causing her to lose control of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
The vehicle rotated and struck a concrete culvert which sent the car into the air before colliding with a wooden fence, overturning onto its roof, and striking another wooden fence and finally came to rest upside down in a pasture.<\/p>\n
During the collision, Williams was ejected from her seat since she was not wearing her seatbelt, the report indicated.<\/p>\n
Officials are unsure if the toddler was not restrained or if the toddler managed to remove himself from the vehicle after the accident.<\/p>\n
Williams was transported to Ocala Regional Medical Center where she later succumbed to her injuries.<\/p>\n
The toddler was transported to Shands UF Pediatrics Hospital where he was listed in serious condition.<\/p>\n
Investigators are waiting on the results of blood tests to determine if alcohol was involved.<\/p>\n
