REDWOOD CITY — A 20-year-old South San Francisco woman was killed in a weekend solo crash on Interstate 280, the California Highway Patrol said.
Just after 1:50 a.m. Sunday, officers with the CHP’s Redwood City office responded to reports of a solo collision on northbound I-280, north of Edgewood Road.
When officers and an ambulance arrived, they found the woman lying in the No. 3 lane. Despite paramedics’ efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a statement, investigators said they believe the woman was driving at unknown speeds when her 2009 Toyota veered right, leaving the road’s eastern edge and going up a hillside. When the Toyota came back onto the roadway, it overturned and ejected the woman, who was not wearing a seatbelt. Officers said either drugs or alcohol appear to have been collision factors.
Officers kept the No. 1 lane of northbound I-280 open while investigators worked the scene, closing the other three lanes for about three hours.
Anyone with information on the accident should call CHP Officer Spencer Curteman at the Redwood City CHP office at 650-369-6261.
