A Cleveland, Tenn., woman died at Erlanger hospital in Chattanooga following a rollover accident on U.S. Highway 411 in Polk County early New Year's Day.

Natasha J. Burchfield, 25, was traveling north on Highway 411 when her vehicle exited the road to the left "for an unknown reason" shortly after 4:30 a.m.. It rolled several times and she was thrown out, according to a Tennessee Highway Patrol accident report. She was originally taken to SkyRidge Medical Center in Cleveland in critical condition, and was later transported to Erlanger.

Burchfield was not wearing her safety belt, and the THP report said drugs and/or alcohol could be a factor in the crash.
