A woman jumped to her death from a freeway bridge in Bostonia Thursday afternoon, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

The woman leapt from East Bradley Avenue about 12:05 p.m. and, as she fell, was hit by a car headed north on state Route 67, CHP Officer Kevin Pearlstein said. The woman was propelled into the slow lane.

The unidentified woman, who appeared to be in her 40s, died before she could be taken to a hospital.

No one in the car that struck the woman was injured.


Officers closed two lanes of the freeway while they investigated the crash.
