The motorist, whose name has not been released pending notification of relatives, was driving about 70 m.p.h. when she changed lanes north of the San Fernando Mission Boulevard exit and hit the slower moving Caltrans truck at 9:45 a.m., California Highway Patrol Officer Wendy Moore said.
The woman died shortly after at Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills, Moore said.
