The driver of a Toyota Tacoma was going in the wrong direction when they crashed head-on into the car Alexandra was in, killing her along with two others in their Infiniti. The driver of the car that was hit is in serious condition, according to FHP.

“The driver of the wrong-way vehicle exited and fled on foot into a wooded area,” said FHP Lieutenant Channing Taylor. The driver has not yet been found.
