Yes. nj.com reports it was a 24 year old girl and she died. Based on what I saw, which was just after it started so I missed the trigger event, for some reason the vehicle made a hard left from the right or middle lane at 70+mph, which started it going airborne. it went across the lanes and bounced off the center barrier, bounced back higher in the air to the RH shoulder. It landed on the driver roof on the guardrail on then came back down on its wheels facing backwards. A violent stop. I was maybe 5-6 cars back, so maybe 1/10-2/10s mile behind. I usually stop at these things but like 10 of the cars in front of me pulled over and I knew it was bad when I drove by and saw no one in the driver seat, so I went to work.
It was like watching a Winston cup vid when the cars get up in the air, you see bottom of the car and it seems to float. Bizarre.

updated: ejected, not wearing a seatbelt. fail. why anyone does not wear a seatbelt is just insane to me. I saw the car, she very well might have lived if she wore a belt.
