LANCASTER – Authorities have identified an elderly female driver who died Saturday afternoon in a head-on crash in Lancaster.

She was 76-year-old Eileen Morales of Littlerock, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office.

The fatal collision happened around 12:20 p.m. Saturday, March 6, on Avenue J, just east of 70th Street East, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

Morales was driving a 1999 Buick Regal westbound on Avenue J when an eastbound Chevy Impala veered into the westbound lane and both vehicles collided, the CHP report states.
