According to a fatality crash summary, Destany Rose was behind the wheel of an eastbound Dodge Intrepid when Rose drifted off the right-hand side of the interstate, overcorrected, and went into the median.

"The vehicle traveled down a steep embankment and rolled two times, coming to rest on its wheels," the summary reads.

The Patrol says Rose was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected during the rollover.
