LAND O'LAKES — A 67-year-old woman died Saturday night after colliding with another car on U.S. 41.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the woman, Patricia Ann Flanagan of Land O'Lakes, was driving north on U.S. 41 around 9:15 p.m. when she neared the intersection with Bell Lake Road and failed to notice that the two cars in front of her had slowed to make a right turn.

She crashed her Jeep Cherokee into the first car, a Hyundai Genesis, propelling it into the rear of the second car, an Audi A-4. Flanagan, who was not wearing a seat belt, died at the scene.

The driver of the Genesis, William Robert Hock, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital with serious injuries, troopers said. The Audi's driver, 39-year-old Jennifer Lynn Hock, was unharmed.

  3. Irma roughs up endangered snail kites, birds that help us gauge the Everglades' health

    49 minutes ago WildlifeBy Craig Pittman, Times Staff Writer

    Hurricane Irma was as rough on some wildlife as it was on the humans. Audubon of Florida reported Thursday that the storm destroyed all 44 nests around Lake Okeechobee built by the endangered Everglades snail kite, a bird considered crucial to the River of Grass ecosystem.

    Hurricane Irma destroyed 44 snail kite nests, capping off a poor mating season for the endangered species, which is seen as an important barometer of the health of the Florida Everglades. Their off-center beaks allow them to probe inside the spiral shells of the native apple snails. But the snails' population has dropped as the Everglades has changed. [MAC STONE | Audubon of Florida]
