There was a fatal crash near the Eastern Shasta County Town of McArthur Friday evening. The CHP responded to the scene at 6:35PM. They say a 1997 Ford was northbound on Day Road at an excessive speed when it left the road and smashed into a tree. The driver, a 50-year-old woman from McArthur, was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected. She suffered fatal injuries. The CHP is still investigating, and they say alcohol and drugs have not been ruled out.
