The accident occurred at 9:31 p.m. north of Newhall Ave. on the SR-14, according to the California Highway Patrol report.
The 25-year-old woman was identified and her family has been notified but coroner’s officials could not release the woman’s name pending notification of her legal next of kin, said Capt. John Kades of the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner.
The woman was driving a 2003 Chevy and made an unsafe turn which cause her to lose control of the car, according to the CHP report. The car veered off the roadway, slammed into a guardrail, became airborne and then rolled several times, landing on it’s roof on a dirt embankment on the side of the road on Newhall Ave.
Both CHP and Los Angeles County Fire Department officials responded to the scene.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
This collision is still under investigation and drug or alcohol impairment are not believed to be a factor at this time, according to the CHP report.
