- FHP: Woman traveling 132 mph on Florida's Turnpike
- Nissan crashed into garbage truck
- Clermont woman taken to ORMC with minor injuries
Daniele Heller was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center with minor injuries after the crash on the turnpike at about 8:20 a.m. near Oakland in Orange County.
Troopers said Heller was driving a 2013 Nissan 370Z southbound on the turnpike "at a high rate of speed" when she tried to pass a dump truck on the left shoulder, lost control of the Nissan and hit the center barrier wall. Her car then crossed back and struck the dump truck.
Before the crash, troopers said Heller's Nissan was clocked traveling 132 mph.
Troopers think Heller was racing a small red vehicle before the crash.
Heller was charged with reckless driving and booked into the Orange County Jail.
