RIDGE MANOR — A 58-year-old Webster woman died Saturday night after her car veered off State Road 50 in eastern Hernando County and hit a tree.
Charlotte A. New was driving her 2001 Chevrolet Impala eastbound a little before 8 p.m. when she lost control for unknown reasons west of Richloam Clay Sink Road, traveled onto the north shoulder and hit the tree, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
New was flown to Lakeland Regional Medical Center, where she died just before 10 p.m., the FHP said. The crash remains under investigation, but alcohol was not involved, according to the FHP.
