A 20-year-old Christopher woman was killed in a one-car crash in rural Franklin County early Saturday morning.
Brooke M. Bolen Brown, 20, died in the crash that occurred near the intersection of Lincoln Road and Izaak Walton Road north of Buckner, authorities said.
The Franklin County Sheriff’s office was contacted about the single-vehicle accident shortly after 4:30 a.m. Saturday. The caller reported a car on its roof in a field with an unresponsive woman inside.
While the investigation has not yet been completed initial indications show that Brown was driving south on Lincoln Road at a high rate of speed. Authorities believe she lost control of the vehicle, which then left the roadway and went airborne. The vehicle flipped and came to rest on its roof about 60 feet from the point where it left the roadway.
Authorities believe that alcohol was a factor in the accident.
The crash remains under investigation.
Funeral arrangements for Brown are pending at Gilbert Funeral Home in Christopher.
