A 24-year-old woman believed to have been drunk was killed on a freeway in Lynwood today when she drove her silver 2005 Ford Mustang under the back of a tow vehicle carrying a truck, the California Highway Patrol reported.
Alma Berenice Limon Arredondo of Norwalk crashed her car at 12:02 a.m. on the southbound Long Beach (710) Freeway north of the westbound Glenn Anderson (105) Freeway, near Rosecrans Avenue, CHP Officer Ed Jacobs said.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:20 a.m.
The driver of the tow vehicle, 34-year-old David Celis of Maywood, was not injured, Jacobs said.
CHP officers at the scene told an RMG News camera crew the woman had been drinking with her boyfriend, who followed her on the freeway after they got into an argument.
Officers were investigating if the boyfriend was chasing her at the time of the crash.
The boyfriend, whose name was not released, was taken into custody because he admitted driving under the influence, the officers said.
All southbound lanes were blocked until 2:45 a.m. while a CHP investigation was under way, Connolly said.
