"The woman who died in this morning's rollover in south Fort Collins is identified as (Name), 24, of Broomfield, according to Larimer County Coroner's Office.
The one-vehicle accident was discovered by a passing motorist at about 3 a.m. on South Shields Street north of Trilby Road.

The green GMC sports utility vehicle was northbound on Shields and appears to have lost control and and ran off the right side of the road. The driver appears to have then over-corrected and the SUV went off the left side of the road, rolling several times.

Garcia was ejected and died on the scene, according to Fort Collins Police Services.

She is found to have died by accident of multiple blunt-force trauma, according to the coroner's office, which performed an autopsy today.

It is unknown whether speed, drugs or alcohol contributed to the accident, and those questions will not likely be answered until toxicology tests are conducted by Larimer County Coroner's Office, according to police.

South Shields Street between West Harmony Road and West Trilby Road was closed for about seven hours during the investigation.

Anyone with information regarding the accident who has not provided police with a statement is asked to call officer David Kaes at (970) 221-6555.

This is the second fatal crash in Larimer County so far this year."
