SUTTER COUNTY, Calif. — A Marysville woman is dead after allegedly driving the wrong way and crashing into another vehicle early Sunday morning in Sutter County, the California Highway Patrol said.
Just after 2:30 a.m., the 25-year-old woman reportedly drove a Chrysler Pacifica south in the northbound lanes on Highway 99, south of Highway 70, according to CHP.
About a minute later, authorities said she reportedly crashed into a GMC Denali along Highway 99, south of Howsley Road.
Emergency and medical personnel arrived on scene. The Chrysler driver was pronounced dead at the scene; the 46-year-old male driver of the GMC was taken to the hospital with major injuries, CHP said.
It is unclear if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash, according to law enforcement. The Sutter County Coroner’s Office will release the name of the woman killed in the crash after her family is notified.
