At about 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Orlando Police say they responded to the 3700 block of West Colonial Drive over a call about a shooting.
According to authorities, a woman was found shot in a gold Chrysler, which had crashed into oncoming traffic. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later died.
"It was just normal traffic, and her coming across the middle lanes at 60 miles an hour ... I veered, and she hit the car beside me, and I got out to run over there to help. But we realized it was more than just a wreck.," said Danielle Gillette, a witness.
Eastbound and westbound lanes of Colonial Drive, between Mercy Drive and John Young Parkway, were closed for several hours while law enforcement investigated.
Police have not yet released further details about the shooting or the woman's identity, but they say suspects are currently being sought.
They are urging anyone with information in the case to call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.
