SAN YSIDRO, Calif. (KGTV) -- A driver was ejected and died Wednesday morning in a single-vehicle crash on the state Route 905 ramp to Interstate 5 in the San Ysidro area, the California Highway Patrol said.
The crash happened at around 6:35 a.m. on the westbound SR-905 transition to northbound I-5, according to the CHP.
CHP officials said a 27-year-old woman, for reasons unknown, veered off the road towards the right and then up a dirt embankment. The woman's Toyota Corolla overturned and she was thrown from the vehicle.
The driver, who was the car's lone occupant, died from her injuries at the scene. She was initially identified as a San Diego resident.
Due to the emergency response, Caltrans closed the ramp at around 6:50 a.m. The ramp was expected to be closed for several hours.
The cause of the crash is under investigation; CHP officials said, "A toxicology report is pending to determine if alcohol and/or drugs were a factor in the crash."
