TAMPA (AP) – Authorities say a woman driving a commercial riding lawnmower died after she was hit by a semitrailer.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office says the truck, owned by Pepin Distributors, rear-ended the lawnmower Monday morning. The lawnmower caught fire and the operator, identified as 36-year-old Isabel Ojeda Ramos, died at the scene. The truck also caught fire, but its driver was not injured.
