Narrative

POMONA, CA – A 57-year-old woman died on Monday in a major crash along the freeway in Pomona.

The accident occurred shortly before 2:30 a.m. on the eastbound side of the 60 Freeway near Garey Avenue, which is just west of CA-71 and north of Costco Wholesale.

Police say that a tire became detached from a GMC Sierra on the freeway and struck the windshield of an eastbound Lexus sedan. The driver of the sedan lost control of her vehicle and ultimately collided with the guardrail.

The victim died from injuries sustained in the accident.

The driver of the Sierra did not sustained injuries in the crash. Authorities identified him as 57-year-old Steven Hernandez of Rosemead.

It’s unclear if Hernandez will face charges in connection to the incident.

A full investigation is underway.
