Thereafter, the front portion of Dodson’s vehicle struck a culvert, became airborne and flipped end over end. The vehicle came to rest on its roof within the ditch area. Witnesses, who were traveling behind Mrs. Dodson, noticed the vehicle was operated in an erratic manner just prior to leaving the roadway and crashing.

Routine toxicology test results are pending and the crash remains under investigation. Troop G troopers have investigated 33 fatal crashes for the year of 2010, resulting in 38 fatalities.
