OCEANSIDE, Calif. — The driver of a vehicle that crashed into a tree in Oceanside, which resulted in the death of the 31-year-old as well as a six-year-old girl passenger, was identified, medical officials said.

Tania Hernandez, of Oceanside, was announced as the deceased, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office stated on its website. The identity of the six-year-old was not released.

The deadly crash occurred Jan. 17 around 8:16 p.m. at Douglas Drive and Pala Road, according to the Oceanside Police Department.
