A 75-year-old San Juan Capistrano woman had died after the car she was riding in crashed with a stalled box truck on I-5, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that Nancy Ann Hull was riding in a Chevy van that collided with a stalled box truck near the Border Patrol’s San Clemente checkpoint on I-5. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband was the driver of the van and sustained moderate injuries; he was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Investigators said that the box truck stalled in the middle southbound lane of I-5 because of a failed transmission; the van was unable to avoid it and crashed into the rear bumper of the truck at full freeway speed. The driver of the truck was not injured.
