A woman believed to be about 50 years old died Saturday afternoon after her car crossed into oncoming lanes on Highway 113 in Solano County and slammed head-on into a work truck. The driver of the truck was not hurt. The crash shut down both directions of the highway for hours near Binghamton Road.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the woman was driving north on State Route 113 around 4:30 p.m. Saturday when she lost control of her car just south of Binghamton Road, crossed into the southbound lanes and struck the truck head-on. She was pronounced dead at the scene, per the California Highway Patrol. NBC Bay Area reported the vehicle involved was a white Nissan Altima, and that no other injuries were reported in the crash.
A Spanish-language account from Telemundo Área de la Bahía described the same sequence of events, reporting that the woman, believed to be in her 50s, lost control while driving north before crossing into the southbound lanes and colliding with the work truck. The California Highway Patrol has withheld the woman's name pending notification of her family.
