A 52-year-old woman was killed Monday in Boca Raton after an early-morning crash.

Around 4:40 a.m., the driver, Wendy Starr Smith, was heading east on Glades Road, approaching Encino Lane.

Her car left the road and struck a concrete utility pole at the southeast corner of the intersection. Smith died at the scene.
Investigators said impairment did not appear to be factor in the wreck.

An unexpected medical episode may have occurred, or the driver may have fallen asleep while driving. No other vehicles were involved.
