CHP: 20-year-old dies in solo rollover accident

A 20-year-old woman is dead after being involved in a solo rollover accident Tuesday night, according to California Highway Patrol.

CHP said the collision was not witnessed and went unreported until Wednesday morning when an RV going by the area called 911.

The investigation revealed that the 20-year-old was driving westbound on Interstate 8, west of State Route 98 (West Y) in the number one lane of traffic drifting toward the center median and mountainside.

CHP said she later overcorrected her steering to the right, causing her to lose control of the vehicle and subsequently drive off the north road edge down a rocky ravine.

The woman suffered fatal injuries as a result of this collision, according to CHP.

CHP said the evidence found at the scene shows that the vehicle rolled over several times down the ravine before coming to rest on the driver side facing a southeasterly direction.

The woman was wearing her seatbelt at the time and alcohol/drugs were not a factor in this collision.
