Coroner Identifies Dixon Woman Killed In I-80 Crash

DIXON, CA — The Solano County coroner's office has identified a woman who died Tuesday morning in a crash near Dixon as Tanya Long, 64, of Dixon. Long was driving a Honda CR-V north on state Highway 113 approaching the eastbound Interstate Highway 80 on-ramp around 10 a.m. She turned left rather than right and entered the Highway 80 off-ramp against traffic just prior to the on-ramp, California Highway Patrol Officer David Harvey said.

The Honda traveled across the raised dirt shoulder, became airborne, traveled over eastbound Highway 80 and over the raised center divider, Harvey said.

The front of the Honda collided with the left front of a Dodge Dart that was traveling west on Highway 80. The Honda rolled over multiple times before stopping on the north shoulder of westbound Highway 80, Harvey said.

Long was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Dodge, which contained three people from Fair Oaks, continued traveling west on Highway 80 for a mile before stopping, according to Harvey.

The 62-year-old driver suffered major injuries, a 54-year-old woman suffered minor injuries and a 9-year-old boy suffered moderate injuries. All three were taken to Kaiser Permanente Vacaville Medical Center, Harvey said.

The CHP is asking anyone with information about the collision to call 707-428-2100 or 800-835-5247.
