"When we arrived, CPR was actively being pursued,” Staff Sgt. Barry Maron said. “That female was taken to the hospital and has subsequently died of her injuries.”
The driver, a 42-year-old man, was in the vehicle with his 40-year-old wife and 12-year-old son.
Alcohol is not considered to be a factor in the crash, police said, and they are investigating whether speed played a role.
No charges have been laid.
