Monrovia woman dies in solo-car crash in Azusa
AZUSA - A woman died and her passenger was hospitalized early Thursday after a solo-car crash on the 210 Freeway in Azusa, authorities said.
Lidia Kopach, 24, of Monrovia died at the scene of the 2 a.m. crash on the eastbound 210 Freeway, just west of Azusa Avenue, California Highway Patrol Officer Jim Frausto said in a written statement.
Her passenger, a 24-year-old Glendora man, was hospitalized with minor injuries, officials said. The relationship between Kopach and the man was not clear.
"(Kopach) was travelling eastbound on the 210 Freeway between the number two and number three lanes at a high rate of speed, just west of Azusa avenue, when for unknown reasons, she lost control of her vehicle," Frausto said.
The 2000 Volvo sedan veered to the right shoulder before Kopach over-corrected and flipped the car, the officer said.
The Volvo made a complete rotation and ended up back on its wheels before slamming into a steel guard rail, he said.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation by the Baldwin Park office of the CHP.
