A driver decided to go around a “Road Closed” sign and concrete barriers on Interstate 40 and ended up driving off the road and into a large hole in western North Carolina Saturday night, according to the Junaluska Fire Department.
Unfortunately, the driver died from her injuries at the hospital Sunday morning. She is not being identified at this time, but North Carolina State Highway Patrol may release her name after notification of her next of kin.
Junaluska Fire Department and Grassy Fork Fire and Rescue crews had to set up an elaborate rope system to try to rescue the driver in the car who was trapped “very close to the Pigeon River.” Her car had plummeted between 75 and 100 feet from the road.
