Rosemarie Ferry crested a hill heading south on Kings Highway South near Church View Road when she saw the two cruiser cars and braked, according to state police at Fogelsville. Her sport-utility vehicle slid on the wet roadway. While trying to correct her steering, Ferry's vehicle went onto the western berm and onto grass at 5930 Kings Highway S.

The vehicle struck a mailbox and several boulders, causing the SUV to roll over three times, police said. The Durango landed on its wheels across the highway, then rolled and came to rest in the southbound lane.
