ORLANDO, Fla. - A 24-year-old man was arrested Sunday under suspicion of DUI when he allegedly crashed into a 41-year-old woman who died after trying to swerve out of the way when a driver entered her lane, according to Florida Highway Patrol. 

Valerio Sebastian Domingo of Orlando was arrested and booked into the Orange County Jail on several charges, including two counts of driving without a license causing death/serious injury, DUI causing death and DUI causing serious bodily injuries, officials said.

The woman from Orlando was driving northbound on Balcombe Road while Domingo was driving in the opposite direction, south of Braxted Drive. He failed to negotiate a right-hand curve and entered the northbound lane, according to the crash report. 

Domingo reportedly found himself in the direct path of the woman's vehicle, and the front left of his car collided with the left side of hers. She tried to swerve to avoid the collision, but was still sent to an area hospital with injuries, where she later died. 

Domingo suffered serious injuries and was also transported to a local hospital. The passenger in his car was also taken to the hospital with minor injuries. 

The crash remains under investigation.
