Trina Marie Stoudt was driving a 2004 Honda Civic when she traveled off I-81 north near Exit 100 by the Lebanon-Schuylkill County line, according to state police.
Upon investigation, police found that she hit a metal grate, then went eight feet down an embankment, breaking off tree branches along the way.
The vehicle ended up facing west without the airbags deploying, and Stoudt— who was not wearing a seat belt—"landed in the left lane of travel," the police state in the release.
She suffered numerous traumatic injuries— including a fatal blow to the head, as detailed in the release.
The accident is believed to be due to Stoudt driving under the influence of a controlled substance, according to the release. During the ingestion police also found multiple open alcoholic beverages and marijuana in the Civic.
