Officer Boshers said the vehicle appears to have been traveling westbound on Di Giorgio Road, east of Towerline Road when the driver allowed the vehicle to drift off the north side of the roadway into the dirt.
Officials said it appears the driver tried to regain control, crossed both lanes of traffic, and drove into a carrot field.
