A 30-year-old woman was killed after getting thrown from an SUV and then trapped under it during a crash Sunday evening on Interstate 93 in Lincoln, New Hampshire, according to state troopers.

New Hampshire State Police responded to the crash shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday, finding an Infinti SUV that had rolled over and come to a rest on its roof in the right shoulder.

An investigation by state police suggested that the SUV was driving on wet roads when an animal ran into the road, south of Franconia Notch. The driver swerved, and ended up overturning and hitting a stone wall marking, police said.

The woman was thrown from the vehicle and trapped under the SUV, and another driver backed their truck into the SUV to help lift it off of her. She died from her injuries, troopers said.

State police identified the woman on Monday afternoon as Kadeen N. Johnson, 30, of Carroll, New Hampshire.

Five other people were in the SUV, including the driver and four children, and they all walked away with only minor injuries.

Local first responders helped state police at the scene.

An investigation is ongoing; anyone with information has been encouraged to call troopers at 603-223-3750.
