According to a news release, troopers were called to respond at 4:17 a.m. to  Route 10, east of Route 258 in Smithfield. That's in Isle of Wight County. 

Investigators determined that the crash happened when the driver of a 2013 Toyota Camry was driving westbound when she crossed into the eastbound lanes and hit a 2013 Volkswagen SUV head-on.
