Washington State Patrol troopers responded to the scene just before 1:45 a.m. The crash happened at the Parksmith Drive exit of the North Spokane Corridor, authorities said.
The 16-year-old driver was exiting to Parksmith Drive, two miles north of Spokane city limits, when she failed to navigate a curve on the ramp. Her vehicle then left the road and rolled, according to Washington State Patrol troopers.
