The FHP said Annette Walton died in the crash, which happened around 5:30 a.m. on North Apopka Vineland Road at Silver Star Road in Orlando.
Troopers said Jose Antonio Lane, 17, of Winter Garden, was driving a stolen Lexus and collided with a Mazda SUV driven by a 37-year-old Apopka man after one of them ran a red light.
Lane was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center with critical injuries, according to troopers, who said the Apopka man suffered serious injuries. It's not known which driver ran the red light, and an investigation is ongoing, the FHP said.
