Woman Killed In Woodland Crash Identified

WOODLAND (CBS13) - A woman who died after crashing her SUV into a tree in front of a Woodland home Monday afternoon has been identified.

The Sacramento County Coroner has identified her as 20-year-old Vanessa Marie Deltoro of Woodland. Her family has been notified.

At around 4:30 p.m. Monday police reported the woman was involved in a traffic accident and fled the scene. Her SUV was spotted a short time later by the Woodland police chief, who started to follow it. He abandoned the chase though after the SUV accelerated to 90 mph and became too dangerous to pursue.

The Sacramento County Coroner says autopsy results on Deltoro should be available on Wednesday.
