A crash in Columbia County left an 81-year-old Kingston woman dead Monday afternoon.

The Columbia County Sheriff's office says a car on State Route 22 didn't make a curve shortly after 12:30. They say it crossed to the east shoulder, hit an embankment, and then some trees.

Joan Ahlstrom was pronounced dead, while the driver, 82-year-old Albert Ahlstrom, was injured. Authorities say they don't know what caused the car to miss the curve, and are still investigating.
