Heather Nicole Raulerson, 33, was traveling south on CR-137 with her two children Devin Raulerson, 13, and Shelby Raulerson, 12, in a 2000 Ford F-250 around 1:40 a.m. Sunday, according to FHP’s crash report. As Raulerson entered a left hand curve and drifted on the shoulder with her right side tires, she made a sharp overcorrection back into the road, traveled into a ditch and turned right again, FHP said. The truck overturned as she attempted to gain control, ejecting her from the vehicle before it came to rest, the report said. Raulerson, who was not wearing her seatbelt, was pronounced dead when authorities arrived on scene, according to the report.
