The driver over-corrected, which caused the Chevrolet to cross back over the travel lanes, run off the right side and continue over the guardrail. The vehicle then overturned several times and struck a tree.

The driver, Hazel Mullins, 80, of Coeburn, Va., died at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation.
