Narragansett motorist died from multiple injuries

The cause of death for a Narragansett woman who was killed in a one-car crash in North Kingstown yesterday was multiple traumatic injuries, the Office of the Medical Examiners said this afternoon.

Police said 41-year-old Liisa Daniels suffered traumatic injury to her head and torso when her car struck a heavy gauge, steel signpost, northbound on Tower Hill Road, near the entrance to Wickford Lumber.

Earlier today, Capt. Charles Brennan said witnesses reported seeing the woman driving erratically before the accident: passing in no passing zones, speeding and cutting off traffic.

Daniels apparently lost control and struck the pole on Tower Hill Road, just south of Ten Rod Road, at about 2 p.m.

She was taken to Rhode Island Hospital where, two hours later, she was pronounced dead.
