WEST COVINA -- A 20-year-old Rialto woman died Sunday in after being struck by a pickup truck on the 10 Freeway in West Covina, California Highway Patrol officials said.
Maritza Plascentia died at the scene of the crash, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Investigator Katalin Van Meter said.
The crash occurred about 3:40 a.m. in the westbound lanes of the freeway, just east of Vincent Avenue, CHP Sgt. Jesse Holguin said in a written statement.
The woman was a passenger in a 1999 Toyota Camry that had come to a stop along the right shoulder of the freeway, the sergeant said.
The driver of a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck, a 20-year-old San Bernardino man, tried to come to a stop behind the Toyota when the crash occurred, Holguin said.
The driver of the Chevrolet turned into the emergency shoulder area and realized he was travelling to fast," the statement said. "(He) steered to the right to avoid a collision, but struck the female passenger as she exited the Toyota."
The woman died from her injuries, officials said.
Any witnesses to this crash are asked to call the Baldwin Park office of the CHP at (626) 338-1164.
