A 91-year-old woman, who was injured after her vehicle was hit Monday night by a driver going the wrong way on Interstate 95 in St. Johns County, has died.

The Florida Highway Patrol sent the update Wednesday that Octavie Lydia Morand, of St. Johns, had died.

Jennifer Levin, 29, was driving northbound in the southbound lane when she hit the 2014 Toyota driven by Morand, the report said.

The accident happened at 8 p.m. Monday and causes miles-long backups on I-95.

The FHP said Levin's blood alcohol level was 0.153, nearly twice the legal limit in Florida. Levin was booked into the St. Johns County Jail on $1,750 bond. Levin was also charged with marijuana possession.

Levin was not injured in the crash. Levin's passenger, Hannah Lee Mixon, was also taken to Baptist South but was released a few hours later.
