Montgomery County police say there were no other people in the car during the crash.

The woman was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Her identity has not yet been released.

Northbound Columbia Pike was closed for about four hours.

The next morning, an email arrived from Debra Katz, the same civil rights attorney who’d represented Christine Blasey Ford, accuser of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, along with accusers of Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein and countless other powerful men accused of sexual misconduct, most of it along with her professional partner of 20 years, Lisa Banks.
