MOREHEAD, Ky. (LEX 18) — A woman has died after being involved in a crash on I-64.

The Rowan County Coroner's Office says it happened at around 6:00 p.m. Sunday near the 137 westbound exit. Officials say it appears the woman lost control of her vehicle, left the roadway, hit a guardrail, and then continued off the roadway and into the trees.

The woman, identified by the coroner as 40-year-old Martha Susan Staton, of Owingsville, was taken to a hospital in Morehead, where she later died. No one else was inside the vehicle at the time.

The accident remains under investigation.
