Authorities have identified a Woodside woman who was killed Sunday when her car crashed into a tree on a San Mateo County highway near La Honda. Janice Garber, 59, died in the collision, the San Mateo County Coroner’s office reported today.

The accident happened around 12:17 p.m. on state Highway 84 about four miles east of state Highway 1, according to the California Highway Patrol. Garber was headed eastbound on the two-lane highway.

Officers are still investigating why Garber’s 1996 maroon Jeep Cherokee veered to the right and ran off the road and into a large tree. She was wearing her seat belt and there was no evidence that alcohol or drugs factored in the wreck, according to the highway patrol.

Emergency crews got Garber out of her jeep, but she had already died from injuries sustained in the crash, according to the CHP.

The CHP is asking witnesses to call 650-369-6261.
