The Florida Highway Patrol has identified the 72-year-old woman killed in a single-car crash early on Friday.

Marion Eileen Benjamin of Woodstock, Ga., was driving a Nissan Rogue on Interstate 275 north of Bearss Avenue about 1:23 a.m. She veered off the road and struck a concrete traffic barrier on the outside shoulder, the FHP said.

The car then veered back across the northbound lanes to the inside shoulder, hitting another concrete barrier.

Benjamin died at the scene.

The reason for the crash was unclear, the FHP said.
