Florida woman dies in moped accident on Martha's Vineyard – NBC Boston

A Florida woman was killed and two other women were injured in a collision between a moped and a Jeep on Martha's Vineyard on Thursday, Massachusetts State Police said.

Julia Harris, a 41-year-old from Fort Lauderdale, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident on Seaview Avenue in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts State Police said Friday.

Investigators believe Harris, who was driving the moped, lost control, crossed the center line of the road and collided with an oncoming Jeep Wrangler. While she was pronounced dead at the scene, her passenger, a 40-year-old Boston woman, was injured but is in stable condition after being flown to a Boston hospital, police said.

Investigators found that both women were wearing helmets on the moped.

There were several women in the Jeep, one of whom suffered minor injuries, according to police, who were still investigating Friday's incident.
