According to a report by the Madison Police Department, Sandra Rivero Rodriguez, 31, of Live Oak, was traveling northeast on Harvey Greene Dr. when she approached a curve too fast, possibly distracted by the use of a cell phone.

Rodriguez was transported by Madison County EMS to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. Pickles, 66, of Crawfordville, declined the service of Madison County EMS. Rodriguez was found to be at fault and was charged with driving too fast for conditions.
