St. CLOUD, Fla. – A 32-year-old woman was arrested in connection to a deadly hit-and-run crash early Saturday.

The SUV was traveling west along U.S. 192 near Tennessee Avenue, toward Kissimmee, when the crash occurred, the a news release states. The driver of the second vehicle remained at the scene and has cooperated with investigators, police said.
According to a charging affidavit, Lindsay Collins was taken into custody on Monday evening after investigators said she was the driver of the Chevrolet.
