A 19-year-old Woodland woman was found dead Tuesday morning in a vehicle that had crashed along an on-ramp to Interstate 80 in the South Natomas section of Sacramento.
California Highway Patrol officers responded around 5:15 a.m. to reports of a crash on the ramp from West El Camino Avenue to westbound I-80, the CHP North Sacramento office said in a news release.
Authorities located a Chrysler 300 sedan that had struck a tree and “landed in a brush-covered gulley,” according to the news release.
A 19-year-old woman from Woodland was described as the driver and sole occupant of the Chrysler was pronounced dead at the scene, CHP officials said.
