State police had been looking for Morgan since Monday, when family had reported that she did not return home, troopers said.
The one-car crash happened was discovered just before 3 p.m. Wednesday on West Kill Road in Jefferson, state police said.
The preliminary investigation showed Morgan was traveling west on West Kill Road when she left the northern shoulder and struck a tree head-on, state police said. She died at the scene.
State police investigators believe the accident happened a few days prior to its discovery.

The cause of the crash remained under investigation, state police said.
