Police say initial investigations indicate the woman was driving south when a car travelling in the opposite direction crossed onto the incorrect side of the road.

They allege the car, a black Dodge Ram, then collided head-on with her blue Honda Accord.

The Dodge was being driven by a man who had two children as passengers.

The highway was closed for several hours while crash investigators examined the scene.

Anyone with information or relevant dashcam footage of either vehicle in the area at the time is being urged to come forward.
