RANDOLPH COUNTY, N.C. — An Asherboro woman died after running off the road and crashing into a tree in Randolph County, according to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.

Troopers said it happened on Friday, May 12th around 7:48 p.m. 

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol said they responded to a report about a crash on Clark Avenue near Allred Street.

Troopers said 24-year-old Kaslyn Marie Switzer was driving east on Clark Avenue in a 2014 Toyota before she went off the road to the right, hitting a tree.
