ORLANDO, Fla. — One person is dead after an Orange County driver crashed into her house and hit three people inside, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers said Luz Silverio Gomez, 68, crashed into her home along Chipola Circle on Wednesday afternoon.
Gomez told officials she pressed the gas pedal instead of the brake.
The car crashed into the garage and struck three people inside, including the driver's daughter, granddaughter and a neighbor, troopers said.
Investigators said the 49-year-old neighbor was transported to a hospital, where he died of injuries.
Gomez's daughter was also transported with a minor leg injury, according to FHP.
Troopers said the neighbor was renting a room from Gomez.
The crash remains under investigation.
Lt. Mark Castleberry of the Florida Highway Patrol told Channel 9 he didn't foresee any criminal charges being filed in the crash.
