The accident occurred at around 1:20 a.m. when a red Hyundai SUV, driven by a 75-year-old woman from Cape Coral, was traveling north on I-75 in the outside lane, north of Mile Marker 120, in Lee County. According to the report from the Florida Highway Patrol, a white Honda Accord, driven by a 31-year-old man from Fort Myers, was also headed north in the center lane of I-75 when the driver attempted to change lanes and collided with the rear of the Hyundai.
