A motorist fatally injured in a rollover crash along Highway 371 in Anza was identified Thursday as a 27-year-old Palm Desert woman.
Skylar Berry died shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday on the westbound side of the corridor, roughly a mile southwest of Cary Road, according to the Riverside County Coroner’s Office and the California Highway Patrol.
Berry was at the wheel of a compact pickup truck that went out of control for unknown reasons and at an unconfirmed speed, overturning on the shoulder of the highway, according to the CHP. No other vehicles were involved.
County fire personnel reached the location minutes later and pronounced the victim dead at the scene.
The highway was partially shut down at the location for four hours while a preliminary investigation was conducted and the wreckage cleared.
A SigAlert was issued due to one-way traffic control and extremely slow movement through the area. The alert was deactivated shortly after 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Anyone with information relevant to the investigation was asked to contact the CHP Temecula office at 951-466-4300.
