Police said the crash that claimed the life of Jessica LaBarge, 43, happened on Interstate 80 East between mile markers 265 and 266 in Dennison Township, Luzerne County.

Police said LaBarge was ejected from the vehicle after it struck a guide rail on the right side of the road, traveled across both lanes and then struck a guide rail on the left side of the road.
