SEBRING — A Sebring woman, who reportedly walked into the side of a Jeep on Thursday, was pronounced dead Monday morning due to complications from her injuries, said Sebring Police Cmdr. Steve Carr.

Police reported that about 10:53 a.m. on Thursday, Mary Vocke-Trinier, 83, tried to cross to the north on Schumacher Road, west of the SunTrust Bank when she hit the jeep.

Betty Flint Fowler, 66, of Sebring, was in driving in the left turning lane heading toward U.S. 27 from the west on Schumacher, police officer Joe Stump said Thursday. Schumacher is located next to the Sebring Wal-Mart.

Vocke-Triner sustained trauma to her leg and chest, Stump said, and was transported to a landing zone at the West Sebring Volunteer Fire Dept. Station 9 and was flown to Tampa General Hospital by Aeromed helicopter.

She was pronounced dead at 12:59 a.m., Monday, according to the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s Office. Her death was caused by complications caused by fractured ribs and flailed chest due to blunt impact trauma to her torso, a spokesman said.
No charges were filed against the driver, Stump said.
