PUEBLO, COLO. -- A crash on Highway 50 just east of Pueblo claimed the life of a woman and seriously injuried a man Wednesday.

Colorado State troopers said a truck heading eastbound veered off the right side of the road trying to avoid another eastbound car.

The truck began to rotate and then rolled, coming to rest on its roof.

The driver, 39-year-old Amanda White of Fountain, was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the pickup.

She suffered fatal injuries.
