A 61-year-old Madera woman was killed night in a two-vehicle crash on Highway 99, according to California Highway Patrol.

CHP Merced responded to a 7:50 p.m. call of an overturned vehicle in the southbound lanes of Highway 99, south of Westside Boulevard, CHP Merced Officer Eric Zuniga said.

A Ford Escape was driving about 85 to 90 mph in the left lane behind a Nissan Altima, Zuniga said.

Witnesses told officers the Madera woman driving the Escape made an unsafe turn to the left, causing the Escape to drive off the eastern edge of the roadway into the dirt and median before rotating on its wheels and re-entering traffic, Zuniga said.
