Woman Killed In Livermore Crash

LIVERMORE, CA — A woman speeding on N. Livermore Avenue Tuesday evening lost control of her car on a curve, zoomed off the other side of the road into a barbed-wire fence, and then "the vehicle began to overturn and cartwheeled into the field to the east of the roadway," according to CHP Officer Tyler Hahn. The car, a 2006 Lexus ES 330, stopped upside down about 50 feet from the road.

The driver was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected as the car cartwheeled. She was pronounced dead by paramedics shortly before 6 p.m.

The woman's name has not been released, but Hahn said that she was a 52-years-old and lived in Stockton.

"This is a sad reminder that excessive speed combined with not wearing your seatbelt can be deadly," said Hahn. "It is also a reason why we as law enforcement, are out enforcing traffic violations that cause deadly collisions. As we enter the Holiday Season, please, as always, don’t drink and drive, slow down and wear your seatbelt."

If you witnessed the crash, call the Dublin CHP Office at 925-828-0466.

This deadly crash happened just one day after three young people were killed when their vehicle collided with a semi.
