Fulton County emergency personnel were dispatched to the area of County Road 300 North and County Road 600 West on a report of a vehicle overturned in a water-filled ditch.
First responders arrived about 3:30 p.m. Thursday and located the driver, identified as Linda Migonis, 79, of Rochester, deceased at the scene.
A preliminary investigation conducted by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office indicates that Migonis was operating a 2015 Fiat northbound on County Road 600 West, south of County Road 300 North.

The investigation remains ongoing; however, foul play is not suspected at this time.
