Lundberg was able to exit the vehicle through the driver side window, before it became engulfed in flames. The accident was reported by witnesses of the accident scene, and also reported the driver sitting in the ditch.
Webb Fire & Rescue was called and extinguished the fire, and the driver refused medical treatment. Upon investigation, it was determined the driver said she experienced confusion and memory loss, having no idea how she got to that location. Officers suspect the impairment was due to prescription drugs, and after an evaluation, determined it to be evident.,
