A 72-year-old woman was killed in a crash Thursday afternoon on State Road 29, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The crash happened at around 1:56 p.m. on State Road 29 at Chaparral Avenue, the FHP said. The crash caused a complete roadblock on the northbound and southbound lanes of State Road 29.

A 2006 Chrysler Town & Country being driven by Jose Silva Sepulveda, 81, of Lehigh Acres, was traveling northbound on State Road 29, the FHP said. Sepulveda made an improper U-turn in front of a 1990 Freightliner Truck being driven by Iburi Guerrero, of Lehigh Acres.

Charges are pending, the FHP said.
