SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The West El Camino Avenue onramp for Interstate 80 was temporarily closed Tuesday morning as CHP investigated a deadly crash.
Law enforcement discovered a Chrysler 300 sedan down an embankment just after 5 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 18. The driver hit a tree and the 19-year-old woman from Woodland died upon impact.
"A vehicle had traveled off the road way into a ditch hidden by some bushes and trees," CHP Sgt. Jeff Carlisle said.
Sgt. Carlisle added the driver was the only person in the car at the time of the crash. CHP is also working to determine when the crash happened. They don't believe it took place on Tuesday morning.
"We aren’t releasing the name of the victim just yet," Sgt. Carlisle said, adding they're "fairly confident we know who it."
He believes the driver was speeding and it's "too early to determine if alcohol or drugs were involved."
Caltrans suggests drivers use northbound West El Camino loop ramp to access I-80.
