2nd Judicial Circuit Court Judge Dawn Caloca-Johnson has died.

Her husband, Ken Johnson, made the announcement on Facebook, saying she died a day after a single car accident. She was in Cape San Blas, and he said it’s believed that she had a medical emergency that caused her vehicle to leave the road and hit a tree.

Johnson says his wife had been undergoing cancer treatment for months. He says they traveled separately to Cape San Blas to spend the night in their new camper.

Caloca-Johnson was 61.
