The 38-year-old driver, formally identified as Narissa Fox, died on Monday afternoon after a single vehicle accident on Moppity Road, about 20km south-east of Young.
She was temporarily living at Young Caravan Park with her children after recently making the move from Sydney.
Her three daughters - who were all wearing seatbelts - were in the car at the time but avoided serious injury.
She became trapped underneath the car after she was ejected out of the vehicle window.
Young police Acting Inspector Michel Madgwick said the crash victim was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.
He said the tragedy was a timely reminder about the importance of wearing a seatbelt.
“Wear your seatbelt, it will save your life,” he said.
Acting Inspector Madgwick said Ms Fox’s licence was disqualified until 2017.
Her 12-year-old daughter who suffered leg fractures and a broken shoulder remains in Canberra Hospital in a stable condition while a nine-year-old girl and 15-year-old girl sustained relatively minor injuries.
