A 20-year-old woman from greater Grand Rapids is dead after her car ran off the highway, rolled over, and hit a tree.

The accident happened on I-96 in Ionia County near the Jordan Lake Road exit around 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon.

The Ionia County Sheriff’s Department says the woman was driving a 2003 Jeep Liberty at a high rate of speed and lost control.

Witnesses on scene tell sheriff deputies a white Honda Accord may have been involved in some sort of road rage with the driver.

The woman is from Wyoming, Michigan.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ionia County Sheriff's Office at (616) 527-5737 or Silent Observer at (616) 527-0107.
