At an unknown time sometime between 1500 hours on 11/27/23 and 0200 hours on 11/28/23, a red Honda Civic driven by Erica Gonzalez was traveling eastbound on SR-253 in the area of 9501 SR-253 at an unknown speed. As the Honda approached a slight left hand curve in the roadway, Gonzalez allowed the Honda to exit the roadway and travel off the roadway down a steep grass embankment approximately 400 feet. As the Civic traveled down the embankment, it collided with a tree and a dirt access road and continued in a southerly direction rolling several times. As a result, the 2010 Honda sustained major roll over damage. 

The driver of the Honda Civic, identified as Erica Gonzalez, was ejected from the Honda and succumbed to her injuries as a result of this crash. The death investigation is being handled by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO). At this time, it does not appear alcohol or drugs were a contributing factor to the crash. 

The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Officer and CalTrans responded to the scene to assist with the California Highway Patrol’s ongoing investigation.
