Jamestown, CA...On November 26, 2017 at approximately 2313 hours, a 59 year old woman from Turlock, CA, was driving her 2002 Ford Mustang convertible eastbound on SR-120, west of Rushing Hill Lookout Rd (an area also known as "The Rock Shop").

The Ford Mustang ran off the north road edge of SR-120 (E/B) into the center median and began rolling. The Ford Mustang continued rolling until striking a outcropping of rocks and a tree.
