LAKELAND, FL – Officials in Lakeland said a 19-year-old woman was killed when her car collided with a pickup truck on Friday evening.

In a news release, the city said police and first responders arrived at the scene in the area of East Memorial Boulevard and Interlachen Parkway shortly before 6:30 p.m. Investigators determined that Quianna Mongol of Lakeland was driving a Chevrolet Cobalt sedan when she lost control while trying to negotiate a curve and slid into the path of a Ford F-150 truck that was heading east on East Memoria Boulevard.
