Police alleged she was driving erratically and weaving in and out of traffic when she hit a Honda Accord.

The Lexus went off the side of the road and up an embankment, causing the car to roll several times before landing upside down, according to the news release. Broomfield died at the scene.

The Honda Accord hit a guardrail on the right side of the road. A man and a woman were taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center in stable condition, police said.
