SAN DIEGO, CA — A single-vehicle accident Wednesday night in San Diego’s Mission Bay Park claimed the life of a 32-year-old woman, reports ABC10 News.

The fatal wreck took place on the northbound side of Ingraham Street at West Mission Bay Drive, in an area just west of SeaWorld San Diego. It was first reported at 9:08 p.m.

According to the San Diego Police Department, the woman was driving a black 2010 Chevy SUV that was pulling a small camper trailer northbound. Officials said she appeared to have been driving too fast at the time she began turning right onto the entrance ramp toward West Mission Bay Drive. As a result, the vehicle ran off the roadway and collided with a tree.

First responders said the female driver and sole occupant died from her injuries following the crash. She has not been identified as of this writing.

It remains unclear at this time whether impairment played a role in the accident, but an investigation by the SDPD’s Traffic Division was underway.
