PALMDALE \u2013 A 30-year-old driver was killed and an 18-year-old passenger was injured Monday morning when a van spun off the road, flipped several times, and landed on its roof in an alfalfa field, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The single-vehicle collision occurred around 6:40 a.m. on 50th<\/sup> Street East between Avenue L and Avenue M, according to Palmdale Station Detective Jeff Perkins.<\/p>\n

Lanette Yvonne Shirley<\/strong>\u00a0was driving southbound on 50th<\/sup> Street East, in a white 2007 Toyota Sienna Van, when her vehicle veered to the right for an unknown reason.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears her right-side tires left the pavement and temporarily went onto the dirt shoulder,\u201d Perkins said. \u201cIt looks like she over corrected trying to bring the tires back onto the roadway, and the car pitched into a spin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perkins said Shirey\u2019s vehicle left the roadway and spun into a nearby Alfalfa field.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks like her vehicle overturned close to a half a dozen times before it finally came to rest on its roof out in the middle of the alfalfa field,\u201d Perkins said.<\/p>\n

He said Shirey was wearing a seat belt, but was partially ejected from the vehicle. She was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Antwone Richmon<\/strong>, 18, was seated in the backseat of the van and was transported to Antelope Valley Hospital with minor lacerations and a possible neck fracture.<\/p>\n

There was at least one eye witness to the collision, a farmer out working in the field.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was harvesting the alfalfa in the field with a tractor when he saw the collision occur,\u201d Perkins said.<\/p>\n

Officials shut down 50th Street East, between Avenue L and Avenue M, until approximately 11 a.m. to allow for the investigation.<\/p>\n
