Authorities said the woman was driving her car northbound when she stopped at a stop sign at an intersection.
Another driver traveling behind her failed to stop at the same stop sign and rear-ended the woman’s car.
The force of the impact sent the first vehicle across the intersection, where it overturned at the middle of the intersection.

The driver and passenger of the other car, both in their 60s, were also hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
