A 51-year-old Lake City woman was killed in a crash with a tractor-trailer Wednesday morning on Interstate 10, west of U.S. Highway 41, a crash that closed eastbound lanes for nearly seven hours, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

State troopers said Christina Fields was heading westbound on I-10 in the left lane about 8:30 a.m. when her car went off the roadway, across the median and into the path of the big rig heading east.

Fields died at the scene. James Rose, 52, of Conyers, Ga., was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and later released.
