Authorities said Marissa Santiago, 25, was traveling northbound in a construction area between the northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 235 before 9 a.m.

OHP said Santiago hit a concrete bridge, lost control of the vehicle and came to rest on its top in the bottom of a creek. 

Santiago was trapped in about two feet of water before she was extricated alive by the Oklahoma City Fire Department.

The medical examiner will determine Santiago's cause of death. 

The cause of the collision is still under investigation.
