GREENWOOD — A Jackson County woman died Thursday from injuries she sustained in a one-vehicle crash a day earlier, troopers reported.
Mary H. Mack, 73, of Greenwood, was traveling eastbound on U.S. 90 near Mayo Road about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday when her 2006 Ford SUV exited the highway and collided with an oak tree, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release. The vehicle began to spin and burst into flames after it stopped south of U.S. 90, trapping Mack inside.
Police and fire officials were able to free Mack from the vehicle, and she was airlifted to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, FHP reported, before later being taken to Shands Hospital in Gainesville. She died there Thursday, according to the release.
Mack was not wearing a seat belt, troopers reported.
