Body of 23-Year-Old Woman Found on I-95 North in Port St. Lucie Sparks Investigation

Authorities are investigating the death of a 23-year-old woman from Fort Pierce whose body was found on northbound Interstate 95 near mile marker 118 in Port St. Lucie. The Florida Highway Patrol initially shut down all lanes and the on-ramp, reopening them later that morning after the body was discovered. Police suspect the woman may have voluntarily jumped from a moving vehicle, and her death is not believed to be traffic-related or involve foul play. The Port St. Lucie Police Department has taken over the investigation and is awaiting autopsy and toxicology results to determine the cause of death. The incident prompted significant traffic disruptions with diversions in place during the investigation. Authorities continue to treat the case as active, with additional details pending.
