According to Kansas Highway Patrol, a 2002 Jeep Liberty traveled onto the outside shoulder of the interstate, collided with the guardrail, veered back onto the interstate and across all lanes, collided with the inside barrier wall and overturned several times.
The driver was ejected from the vehicle and killed.
She was identified as Chelsie Faith Randel of Topeka.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash but the interstate was closed for several hours in the westbound direction.
