EAST PALATKA, Fla. — An adult female pedestrian died after being hit by two vehicles on U.S. 17 in East Palatka on Sunday night, making it the fourth pedestrian traffic death in Northeast Florida in the past two days.

The woman killed was identified by the Florida Highway Patrol Monday afternoon as 47-year-old Angela Woodworth of Interlachen.
