Investigators said they initially found Redden lying in the grass near a wooden fence. They are not sure if she had been dragged by the truck, but evidence was collected on a basketball court, a nearby business center as well as the roadway.
“Right now we have no information, no suspect information, we don’t know if at this point it is an accident or what, that is all being investigated as we speak,” Zach Hudson, with Lake Mary Police Department, said.
Lake Mary Avenue was shut down in both directions as police investigated the deadly crash.
