Authorities say a woman has died after an early morning crash on the train tracks in Yuba County. <\/p>\n

California Highway Patrol says the crash happened a little after 2 a.m. near Highway 65 and Dairy Road, just outside of the town of Wheatland. <\/p>\n

Officers responded to the scene and found that a freight train had struck a Toyota Prius that was on the tracks, sending the vehicle rolling. The train was stopped after the crash. <\/p>\n

The driver was identified as a 58-year-old woman. She was out of her vehicle, officers say, and died from her injuries. <\/p>\n

Exactly what led up to the crash is under investigation, CHP says, with the name of the driver being withheld at this time. <\/p>\n
