LOXAHATCHEE, Fla. — A woman who was hospitalized after a rollover crash earlier this week has died.

The accident happened Tuesday at the intersection of Seminole Pratt Whitney Road and Okeechobee Boulevard at around 12:15 p.m.

According to Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Grace Woerner was driving westbound on Okeechobee Boulevard when, for unknown reasons, she veered to the right before crashing into a pole.

Palm Beach County Fire Rescue crews arrived on scene to find Woerner, 57, trapped inside the rolled over SUV, which was pressed against a barbed wire fence and thorny brush.

Firefighters used the Jaws Of Life to extricate her from the SUV. She was then flown to St. Mary's Medical Center via Trauma Hawk, where she later died.
