The California Highway Patrol says a woman was killed in a solo vehicle rollover crash on Alfred Harrell Hwy and Lily Drive on Saturday afternoon.

The westbound lanes were blocked for a time.

CHP official Richard Pierce told 23ABC that the Kern County Sheriff's Office dispatched the Kern County Park and Recreation of a report of a reckless driver near Hart Park.

It is unknown at this time if alcohol or drugs were involved.

The woman's identity has not been released.
