Woman killed in solo-car crash in Madera, CHP says

MADERA, Calif. (KFSN) -- A woman has died after a crash in Madera County Tuesday morning.

Officers have identified the woman as 85-year-old Katherine Wilkins of Chowchilla.

It happened on westbound Avenue 12 just west of Highway 99.

The California Highway Patrol says the driver had just left the highway when he hit the accelerator instead of the break, hitting the concrete median and overturning his Chevy Equinox.

That caused the car to roll over, killing Wilkins.
