A 22-year-old Melbourne woman was killed after witnesses say she walked away from an argument, was struck by a vehicle, and run over by another.
According to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol, the fatal accident took place near the intersection of State Road A1A and Moonlight Drive on Wednesday, December 7, at 6:35 p.m.

After the pedestrian was struck, she was thrown into the southbound lane, where she was run over by a Hyundai Elantra being driven by a 38-year-old Melbourne Beach man.
Authorities say that the crash occurred next to Brevard County Fire Station #64 and that the woman received immediate medical attention. She was transpored to the Holmes Regional Medical Center, where she was declared deceased upon arrival.
