Witnesses reported that they saw her operating the car just before it *crashed*- she had been able to bring it nearly to a halt before it hit, but was dead before those at the scene could reach her.
They stated that it appeared to them that the back seat of the car was on fire as she was driving....

That road has lots of traffic so there has to be several witnesses.
