A woman driving the wrong way on Highway 60 in Ontario early Thursday morning was killed in a head-on crash with a tow truck.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the unidentified woman was driving a Nissan west in the no. 1 eastbound lane of the 60 east of Miliken Avenue shortly after 3:30 a.m. Thursday morning when she hit a tow truck driven by 36-year-old Mark Rojas of Riverside.

The Nissan spun into the no. 3-4 lanes; the tow truck wound up on the transition road with Interstate 15.

Both the woman and Rojas were taken to Riverside Community Hospital. She died soon after being transported; he was treated for minor injures.

Both were wearing seat belts.
