Woman Killed In Apparent Single-Car Wreck In Santee

SANTEE, CA – A woman was found dead at the scene of an apparent single-vehicle crash Sunday morning.

A car was found off the roadway just before 8 a.m. near the 11400 block of Woodside Avenue, San Diego County Sheriff's Lt. Dave Perkins said.

Deputies found a woman inside the car who appeared to have died of injuries sustained in a crash, Perkins said. The woman was identified as 40- year-old Ashleigh Hanson of Santee.

It wasn't immediately known whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash, the victim may have been driving too fast for conditions in Sunday's wet weather, Perkins said.
