Coroner Identifies Vacaville Teen Killed In Lyon Road Crash

SOLANO COUNTY, CA — A 19-year-old Vacaville woman died and two other people were injured in a crash late Tuesday afternoon in unincorporated Solano County just outside of Vacaville, officials with the California Highway Patrol said. The wreck was reported at 4:34 p.m. on Lyon Road west of Blue Mountain Drive. Two sedans — a silver 2000 BMW 328i and a red 2015 Hyundai Elantra — collided as the BMW was traveling westbound on Lyon but crossed into the eastbound lane, directly in the path of the Hyundai, according to CHP Spokesman David Harvey.

The front of the Hyundai collided with the passenger side of the BMW, ejecting the fatally injured victim from the car. She died at the scene, and after her family was properly notified she was identified by Solano County coroner's officials as Carly Hutchings.

The driver of the BMW, a 19-year-old Vacaville man, and the driver of the Hyundai, a 29-year-old Vacaville woman, both suffered major injuries, Harvey said. They were assisted out of their cars by other motorists, then taken by emergency personnel to NorthBay Medical Center, he said.

A Napa-based CHP helicopter crew responded, and at least one of the injured was life-flighted from the crash site southwest of Vacaville, off Interstate Highway 80.

Personnel from the Vacaville Police Department and the Fairfield Fire Department also responded to the scene.

The fatal crash closed Lyon Road at Cherry Glen until about 7 p.m.

CHP investigators were still trying to determine why the BMW crossed into the other lane, and did not immediately know whether drugs, alcohol or distracted driving were factors.

Anyone with information pertinent to the crash is asked to contact CHP at its non-emergency line 800-TELL-CHP (800-835-5247) or its CHP Solano Area Office at 707-428-2100.
