According to State Police, preliminary investigation indicates that Al-Mumeet was driving southbound on Route 24 when, for reasons still under investigation, she lost control of her 2005 Cadillac STS sedan.

Evidence, police say, indicates the car rode along the metal guardrail for approximately 100 feet before crossing all three travel lanes in a southwest direction, went off the road, and crossed the grass infield at Exit 20A (Route 139). The Cadillac then crossed the on-ramp and entered the wood line, where it hit a small group of trees.
