According to a crash report, the woman was traveling north on Balcome Road when a van that was heading south — occupied by a 24-year-old Orlando man behind the wheel — entered the woman’s direct path as its driver failed to negotiate a right-hand curve. An original report said the 24-year-old had a 40-year-old Orlando man in the passenger’s seat, but the 40-year-old was a passenger in the woman’s vehicle.
The woman attempted to swerve out of the way, but the front left of the van struck the left side of her car, troopers said.
