A 52-year-old Texas woman was killed late Tuesday in a single-vehicle crash in west Topeka, authorities said.

The fatality victim was identified as Theresa L. Greig, of Coppell, Texas.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at 11:26 p.m. Tuesday on the eastbound on ramp to Interstate 70 from S.W. Fairlawn Road.

According to the patrol, Greig was driving alone in a 2006 Nissan truck at the time of the crash.

The patrol said Greig had been traveling north on Fairlawn and was driving too fast for the turn onto eastbound I-70. The patrol said Greig lost control of the truck, which then ran off the road, hit a tree and rolled several times.

Greig was ejected from the truck and was pronounced dead at the scene. The patrol said she wasn't wearing a seat belt.
