A Brooklyn woman died after an apparent medical problem caused her to lose control of her vehicle as she was driving in Carle Place on Saturday evening, Nassau police said.

The 68-year-old woman, who was not identified, was driving a 2003 Dodge Neon on Voice Road at 6:05 p.m. when she became incapacitated due to an apparent medical emergency, police said.
