Medical personnel at the scene pronounced the driver deceased upon arrival. Her identity is being withheld pending notification of her next of kin.
The circumstances surrounding the crash are still under investigation by authorities.

You give her name twice then say it’s being withheld till next of kin is notified. I hope they were notified before this got out…

Thank You Monica for the details you have covered in this article. I Appreciate the all the Public Servants working on our Community Water Supply needs. Re the mentioned plans for a new 120 home subdivision on Lovers Lane: … WOW! … I would like to learn more about that, how big of parcels, and where the water is coming from. Color me Curious :+)
I’d like to see a official study done on accidents on 20 there. Wondering if drivers are tired from long drives returning home….lack of sleep going somewhere, intoxication, inexperience, check phone records to see if active at time of accident.. nice to see if a pattern in a location where there are so many including fatalities.
Pretty much all of the above…The worst of it is the morning work commute over to Ukiah etc.
The tailgater situation is horrendous with people passing over the double lines and so forth.
Add to the mix the tweekers, texters, drinkers, and yes I’ll say it the stoners and the general
lack of law enforcement it’s a wonder that there isn’t a lot more carnage.Fucking blood alley!
