The Shasta County Coroner’s Office said Monday, March 16, that the woman killed in a rollover crash at a busy intersection was Deseray Lyn Ramirez, 32, of Redding.
The accident occurred on the afternoon of March 11 at the intersection of Hartnell Avenue and Victor Avenue.
Redding police said Ramirez was on a FaceTime call on his cell phone when he ran a red light at an intersection.
Investigators said Ramirez was driving a white pickup truck with two teenagers inside when she was traveling east on Hartnell when she collided with an orange Subaru sedan traveling south on Victor.
Ramirez was not wearing a seat belt and was “partially ejected” when the truck overturned and came to rest on its roof, police said.
The young men were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Investigators said the orange sedan was driven by a 41-year-old Redding man. Police have not yet said whether he was injured in the crash.
