As the vehicles sat in the turn lane, a gray Nissan Altima veered into the Cadillac head-on from the northbound lane. The impact pushed the Cadillac into the Jeep, causing damage. The female driver of the Altima was taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead a short time later. She did not appear to be wearing her seat belt.
