A woman lost control of her vehicle on a central Minnesota road and died in a rollover crash, authorities in Meeker County said Wednesday.

The crash occurred northeast of Litchfield in Forest Prairie Township about 8 a.m. Tuesday on westbound County Road 21 east of County Road 14, according to the Sheriff's Office.

Emergency responders located the driver, 32-year-old Michelle A. Bengtson, of rural Litchfield, and declared her dead at the scene.

A fundraising page online created by a relative said Bengtson is survived by a husband and four children ranging in age from 9 to 12.
