ROCHESTER HILLS (WWJ) -- Investigators suspect that alcohol was a factor in a single-vehicle early morning crash that killed one person early Tuesday in Rochester Hills.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office said a 23-year-old woman died of her injuries in the hospital, several hours after she rolled her Jeep Renegade northbound off southbound Adams Rd. near Tienken Rd.
Officials said Amanda Marie White of Rochester Hills was alone in the vehicle, just before 12:30 a.m., when the Jeep went off the east side of the road, hit an embankment and went airborne before coming to a rest on its side.
White was taken by EMS to a local hospital where she received emergency treatment but succumbed to her injuries later in the morning.
The OCSO noted that White was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, but said that it is believed that she was under the influence of alcohol.
No one else was hurt.
The incident remains under investigation by the OCSO Crash Investigations Unit.
