Woman Killed In Tragic Fiery Crash Along Napa Road Identified

SONOMA COUNTY, CA – The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office has identified a woman who died Wednesday afternoon in a solo vehicle crash east of Sonoma as Natalie Enz, 35, of Sonoma.

Enz died when her 2005 Kia crashed off westbound Napa Road west of state Highway 121 around 1 p.m., California Highway Patrol Officer Marc Renspurger said.

The Kia drifted off the road, struck a drainage ditch at a driveway and became airborne, Renspurger said.

When the Kia landed on its wheels, the right side of the vehicle caught fire, Renspurger said.

Witnesses and other motorists tried to put out the fire and remove Enz, but the vehicle became engulfed in flames, Renspurger said.

Enz was pronounced dead at the scene. She studied child psychology for two years at Sonoma State University and was a Sonoma resident since June 2015, according to her Facebook page.

The crash closed Napa Road until 4:08 p.m., CHP officials said.
