The woman -- who was not identified by police at this time -- was driving a black Chevy Trailblazer at around noon traveling northbound in the left lane near Exit 125 when, for unknown reasons, she struck the concrete center barrier, according to Sgt. First Class Gregory Williams, a spokesman for the New Jersey State Police.

She then lost control of her vehicle, drifted right across all northbound lanes, struck the guardrail and flipped over onto her roof leading her to be ejected through the windshield, Williams said. 

She was transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Medical Center in New Brunswick where she remains in intensive care surgery, according to Williams. 

The right two lanes near Exit 125 were shut down while the scene was investigated by state police troopers, the New Jersey State Police Fatal Accident Investigation Unit, and the state police Incident Command Unit, officials said. Lanes were reopened at around 2:45 p.m.

No one else was involved in the crash. The woman was the sole occupant of the Chevy Trailblazer, according to Williams.
