Woman In SUV Killed In Crash Near Disneyland

ANAHEIM, CA — A woman was killed when the SUV she was driving crashed into a palm tree Saturday morning across from Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, authorities said.

"It appears that speed could be a factor in the crash," said Sgt. Shane Carringer of the Anaheim Police Department.

The woman was driving eastbound in the 700 block of West Katella Avenue when her white GMC Yukon rear-ended a Dodge Charger just before 3 a.m. Saturday, Carringer said.

The SUV then left the road and struck the palm tree. The woman, the lone occupant inside the vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.

The driver of the Dodge Charger was not injured and was cooperative with police.

Anaheim police asked anyone with information regarding the crash to call them at 714-765-1997.
