Megan Eftink is believed to have drifted from 10509 Tidewater Trail onto the "very soft shoulder" to the right, and overcorrected back onto the roadway and struck another vehicle around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 21, the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office said in a release.
Eftink was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
She was not believed to have been wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash, and speed was believed to have been a factor, officials said.
The driver of the other vehicle was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Eftink, whose Facebook page says she's from Fredericksburg, was remembered in her obituary as a "free spirit who loved her family and friends fiercely."
"She fought many demons in her short life but never forgot to say 'I love you,'" her obit reads.
