A Monticello woman died in a single-car crash in Wayne County Monday morning, Kentucky State Police said.

Gretchen E. Koontz, 35, was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Impala west on Ky. 92 when her right tires dropped off the side of the road.

Koontz then crossed over both lanes and off the road, hitting a wooden post and a tree, state police said.

She was taken to Wayne County Hospital, where she died, police said.

Koontz was alone in her car and was wearing her seat belt, London state police post spokesman Trooper Don Trosper said, and alcohol was not suspected as a factor in the crash.
