The crash occurred around 3 a.m. where State Road 33 meets County Road 474 as the RV traveled southbound on SR-33 and an SUV traveled westbound on CR-474, both headed toward the intersection, troopers said.

According to a crash report, Rojas — driving the SUV — made a wide right turn onto SR-33, crossing over the center line in front of the RV where both vehicles collided. Rojas was pronounced dead at the scene by Lake County Fire Rescue and was wearing a seat belt in the crash, the report states.
