ENCINITAS —
A woman died after her minivan crashed into a retaining wall in Encinitas Tuesday night, sheriff’s officials said.
The collision was reported just after 11:30 p.m. on Via Cantebria near Via Montoro.
Investigators determined the vehicle was headed north on Via Cantebria when, for some reason, it left the road, struck a pole or a streetlight, and then crashed into the wall, officials said. Deputies and paramedics tried to help the woman, but she died before she could be taken to a hospital.
Her name will not be released until her family has been notified. No one else was in the minivan.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
