Investigators believe the mother, believed to be in her 30′s, overcorrected to take the Bissonnet exit, then lost control and struck two traffic signs.
As she was ejected, police said the vehicle landed on top of her. She died at the scene. Investigators determined that she was not wearing a seatbelt.
No additional vehicles were involved.
Her three children - a baby, a 2-year-old and a 12-year-old - were also in the vehicle. Although the toddler was also ejected, all three children are expected to be OK.
Police said investigators did not find car seats inside the vehicle.
