PORT ST. LUCIE – A 23-year-old Port St. Lucie woman died when she apparently jumped from a pickup truck on I-95 on Nov. 1 at about 1:05 a.m., according to police reports.
Taylor Joan Robert and Harrison Earl, 24, both of Port St. Lucie, were traveling north on I-95 near Gatlin Boulevard in a light green 2017 Dodge Ram pickup driven by Earl when Robert apparently jumped from the moving vehicle, according to police reports.
