     The CHP says a woman was killed in a solo vehicle crash on Highway 126 between the Los Angeles County line and Piru.

     It happened Friday morning around 2:20 AM on westbound 126.

     They say the 29-year-old Fillmore woman was driving a 2019 Jeep Wrangler westbound at an undetermined speed when for reasons still under investigation she allowed the Jeep to travel off the main roadway to the dirt and brush covered right shoulder.

     The CHP says the vehicle continued until it collided with a drainage culvert, flipped over, and landed on its roof on the shoulder west of the culvert.

     The woman, the only person in her vehicle, was declared dead at the scene.

     The crash closed the westbound lanes for a couple of hours.
