A motorist was killed Wednesday in a solo car crash on an Otay Mesa freeway connector, authorities reported.
The 27-year-old woman lost control of her Toyota Corolla for unknown reasons on the ramp from westbound state Route 905 to northbound Interstate 5 shortly after 6:30 a.m, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The vehicle veered to the right, went up a dirt embankment, overturned and rolled side over side back onto the roadway, CHP public-affairs Officer Salvador Castro said. The driver was ejected onto the roadway and died at the scene. Her name was withheld pending family notification.
Authorities temporarily shut down the connector to allow for investigation and cleanup.

It was not immediately clear if intoxication was a factor in the crash, Castro said.
