A Fairfield woman died Monday morning when her vehicle crashed into a tree on eastbound Interstate 80 near the Mace Boulevard exit.

Jones was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of the crash, including the possible role of alcohol or drugs, remains under investigation, CHP Officer Rodney Fitzhugh said.
