VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WVEC) -- Authorities have identified the woman who died in an early Tuesday morning crash into a Virginia Beach bank.

Investigators learned that 33-year-old Misty Dawn Luce crashed into the Bank @lantec on S. Independence Blvd. near Edwin Dr. shortly after 2 a.m.

Police say Luce was driving a stolen Dodge Ram pickup truck.

Investigators determined the truck was traveling eastbound on Independence Blvd., when it veered off the road.

The truck then traveled between two poles, up an embankment and launched nearly 50 feet in the air, then struck a parked vehicle.

The truck then rolled onto the vehicle's roof, flipped over and slammed into the bank.

Medics rushed Luce to the hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries.

No other details have been released at this time, including if alcohol played a factor.
