Woman dies in jump from Hummer limo onto SoCal freeway

Advertisements [?]

COSTA MESA, Calif. - A woman who apparently jumped from a Hummer limousine as it traveled on Interstate 405 early Wednesday was killed, authorities said.

A preliminary investigation showed the woman was struck by several cars after jumping out of the limousine, said police Sgt. Loren Wyrick, adding that investigators have not ruled her death a suicide.

"We don't have her ID yet, we don't know what the motivation was and the circumstances leading to her death," Wyrick said.

The woman died shortly after 5 a.m., causing southbound traffic on the busy San Diego Freeway to back up for miles, he said.

Costa Mesa is in Orange County 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
