A 2002 Mitsubishi Montero, driven by Dawn Sharp (W/F/Age 38) of Tickfaw, LA, was traveling southbound on LA 1064 and entered a curve to the left. However, when the roadway straightened, the Mitsubishi Montero continued traveling to its left.

The Montero then traveled off the roadway to the right and began flipping several times. Due to lack of seat belt use the driver was partially ejected from the vehicle as it flipped.
