A woman is dead after a Jeep overturned early Tuesday morning on State Road 15 in Warsaw.

Just before 3:30 a.m., Warsaw police arrived near the intersection of Detroit St. and State Road 15 to find a Jeep on its top and a Subaru with extensive damage to the driver’s side.

The woman who was driving the Jeep was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Kosciusko County Coroner. The driver of the Subaru fled the scene prior to the first responders’ arrival.
