A 27-year-old Lawtey woman sustained critical injuries after her pickup left State Road 121 and crashed into a fence and tree on Wednesday morning.

According to a Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) press release, the woman was driving westbound on SR 121 at 8:19 a.m. when her pickup exited the roadway to the right, re-entered the roadway and then left the lane traveling southward just east of NE 204th Lane.

The pickup traveled into the embankment, struck a wire fence and then collided with a tree before it came to a final rest nearly 60 to 80 feet from the road.
