LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- A Fort Myers woman died Tuesday night after troopers say she crashed into a tow truck pulling a vehicle.

Florida Highway patrol say the crash happened at 10 :18 p.m. on Interstate 75 at mile marker 140, just south of the Luckett Road exit in Fort Myers.

Troopers say 28-year-old Kassandra Alsept of Fort Myers was driving southbound when she crashed into the rear end of a pickup truck being towed by a tow truck. The towed truck became unstable and fell on top of Alsept's vehicle.

Alsept was pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation.
