A 19-year-old woman is dead after crashing into a tree in Brunswick Sunday morning.

Police say Kaylah Rusaw was driving a 2016 Nissan Rogue at about 8:45 am on Old Bath Road near Box 391 when she lost control, crossed the road, and hit a tree.

Officers say the front and side airbags of the car were deployed. They say Rusaw was not wearing a seat belt and speed appeared to be a factor in the crash.

Police say Brunswick Fire and Rescue performed CPR for about 30 minutes, but were not able to revive Rusaw, who died at the scene.
