YUMA, Ariz. -- Authorities in southwestern Arizona said a Nevada woman is dead after the car she was driving rolled into a shallow lake in Yuma.

Yuma County Sheriff's officials on Thursday identified the victim as 23-year-old Maria Celina Rubio-Morales, of Las Vegas.

Three passengers in the car escaped injury.
