“Investigators determined the Chevrolet Trailblazer was attempting to make an abrupt lane change to exit the TEXpress lane when it struck a crash cushion barrier,” the release added. “The impact caused the Trailblazer to then flip into the air, striking a vertical steel highway sign with its roof before coming to rest upside down on the highway.”

Authorities believe Dee was driving the car and was not wearing a seatbelt and that alcohol “may be a contributing factor.”
