One dead, one injured in 60 Freeway solo-car crash
DIAMOND BAR -- A 70-year-old woman died and a 73-year-old man was hospitalized Sunday after their car crashed on the 60 Freeway, authorities said.
The name of the dead woman was not released Sunday pending notification of his family, coroner's officials said.
The crash was reported shortly before 3 p.m. in the eastbound lanes of the freeway, just west of Phillips Ranch Road, California Highway Patrol officials said in a written statement.
For unknown reasons, officials said, a 2003 Toyota Camry being driven by the man went off the road and crashed into the concrete center divider, causing major damage to the front of the car.
The woman died of her injuries, while the man was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center with moderate injuries, according to the CHP. Both were from Moreno Valley.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation by the Santa Fe Springs office of the CHP.
