Francois was traveling west on a main boulevard when her car veered off the roadway, deputies said. The car went over a raised concrete curb and through a field before sideswiping a commercial trash bin and slamming into part of a shopping center where the restaurant was located.

Francois was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Crash investigators didn’t immediately say what made Francois lose control of the car.
