Twila Robinson, 44, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident by Marion County Fire Rescue.

She had been northbound at 5:20 a.m. on I-75 at Mile Marker 364 when her vehicle was struck in the left rear section by a 2011 BMW driven by 47-year-old Grady Wilson of Norman Park, Ga., according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
