A New Bedford woman died Sunday night in a single-vehicle crash that left two other passengers with serious injuries. 

State police said troopers from the Dartmouth barracks responded to the crash on I-195 westbound in Dartmouth shortly after 10 p.m. and found a Jeep Cherokee off the side of the highway.

Upon arrival, emergency crews identified passenger Eleanor Estrella, 63, of New Bedford dead at the scene. 

A second passenger, a 17-year-old girl, was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.

The driver, a 25-year-old New Bedford woman, suffered life-threatening injuries and remains in critical condition. 

The two survivors were transported to St. Luke’s Hospital.

A preliminary investigation found that their Jeep went off the road to the left, entered the grassy median, and struck a tree.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
