Police said turner was traveling in the inbound lane, but she was going in the wrong direction and crashed at an unfinished ramp.
Turner was a temporary worker in housekeeping at the Providence Point Nursing Home in Scott Township. Her last day in that position ended earlier this month.
Where she was going just before the accident is not yet known.
