MONTEREY — A 19-year-old North Carolina woman was killed Sunday in a violent collision on State Route 1, according to a news release from the California Highway Patrol.

The woman has been identified as Maddie Elizabeth Fletcher, 19, of Shelby, North Carolina, according to the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office.

Around 9:47 a.m., the Monterey Communications Center received a report of a crash, authorities said. Fletcher was driving a black Honda Civic in the first northbound lane of SR-1 north of Munras Avenue. A vehicle was traveling in the second lane on the right side and behind Fletcher’s car when it veered into the first lane and struck the rear of the Honda Civic, the CHP said.

The Honda lost control and veered off the road, authorities said, where it then began to overturn before crashing into a tree. The car came to rest on its wheels facing south on a dirt embankment.
