A woman who died in an accident in Chico, California, has been identified by the authorities. The police late on Thursday, March 26th, identified her as Ashley Leon, 29.

Chico Police Department said that the crash occurred early on Thursday along the Skyway. The preliminary investigation uncovered that a Honda Accord, driven by Leon, had slammed into a retaining wall between Skyway and Notre Dame Boulevard.

At about 1:15 a.m., another vehicle crashed into the Honda, leaving the deceased with severe injuries. First responders found the woman unresponsive and pronounced her dead.

The police deduced that Leon was traveling east when the Honda drifted to the left or failed to negotiate a left turn and ended up in the retaining wall, close to Raley’s shopping center. The police believe the deceased was driving at 40 mph when she slammed into the wall.

The state of California has a “Basic Speed Law,” which states that a driver should never drive faster than what is safe for the roadway he or she is traveling on. Thus, a motorist’s speed limit should depend on the number and speed of other vehicles on the road.

It should depend on whether the surface of the road is smooth, rough, graveled, wet, dry, vast, or narrow. It also depends on whether bicyclists or pedestrians are on the edge of the road, or if it’s rainy, foggy, snowing, windy, or dusty.

The maximum speed limit in California is 65 mph unless 70 mph is stated with a sign. On two-lane undivided highways, the limit is 55 mph, and that of school districts is 25 mph.
