East of Cavalier, the woman, driving a 2010 Kia Soul SUV, drove into a ditch, struck a field approach and rolled. The woman was not wearing a seatbelt and was critically injured.
The woman, whose name has not yet been released, was taken by ambulance to Altru Hospital in Grand Forks, where she died.
