A 20-year-old Winter Garden woman riding an electric scooter died when she was struck by a car in west Orange County on Friday afternoon, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
An FHP crash report stated a 69-year-old Winter Garden man was driving a 2021 Toyota Camry southbound on Avalon Road approaching the intersection of Old YMCA Road in the outside lane at 2:43 p.m.
