Sheriff's officials said at the time that the woman was the only person in the vehicle. She was conscious and breathing when she was pulled from the submerged vehicle by the fire department.

The northbound freeway was shut down at the ramp as a result. Roads were slick the night it happened due to a winter storm moving through.
