URAVAN — One woman is dead and two other people injured after a single-vehicle crash off of Highway 141.

The Colorado State Patrol reported Laurianne Kettle, 56, of Naturita, died Wednesday afternoon in the crash. Her 2002 Buick went off the road northwest of Uravan, colliding with bushes and rocks before rolling up a steep embankment, then back down it.

When the Buick came down, it struck a large rock and rolled a three-quarter turn.
