The northbound sedan veered off the freeway just north of Balboa Avenue for unknown reasons and struck a tree about 10:45 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol. The victim, whose name was not immediately available, died at the scene.
The wreck left the far right-hand northbound lane of the freeway closed into the midday.
