The Shasta County Coroner’s Office, Redding, California has identified the woman who died in the Shasta Lake crash. On Tuesday, March 3rd, the coroner revealed her name as Nevaeh Marie Hopman, 19.

The coroner stated that the young woman suffered significant injuries, and died at the scene. An autopsy has been scheduled, and the public will be updated when the result comes out.

The accident that claimed Hopman’s life occurred on Sunday, March 1st. The deceased was traveling on the interchange when her vehicle entered from Interstate 5 onto Shasta Lake and crashed into a grove of trees.

The 2002 Dodge Neon Hopman was driving rolled over and was significantly wrecked afterward. The driver’s side was worst for it, and when the California Highway Patrol arrived at the scene after getting called at about 5:20 a.m., they found the headlights of the car on.

Hopman was restrained in the vehicle with her seatbelt on, and the airbag also deployed. The two were not enough to keep the young woman alive, and she succumbed to her extensive injuries.

The CHP is unsure if drugs or alcohol played a role, and the accident was a single-vehicle crash. They are still investigating the cause of the crash and have asked anyone with information to contact their offices.

There are several reasons drivers suffer from single-vehicle crashes. They range from over speeding, driving under the influence, distracted driving, to adverse road conditions.

Seat belts and airbags often go a long way in preventing fatalities. The former prevents a person from getting ejected from the vehicle when there’s an accident, and the latter often prevents head injuries.
