VENTURA, Calif. A woman died in a car crash on Highway 1 in Ventura early Monday morning.
It happened around 1:35 a.m., when a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta was driving southbound on Highway 1 south of Thornhill Broome Beach.
California Highway Patrol said the driver turned her car and lost control, sending the car over an embankment and into the ocean.
The driver, identified as a 19-year-old woman from Valley Village, died on scene.
Ventura CHP, United States Coast Guard, Ventura County Fire Department, Gold Coast Ambulance and Ventura County Sheriff s Office all responded to the scene of the crash.
The crash is under investigation. Officials said it s unclear if alcohol or drugs were a factor in this crash.
On behalf of more than two dozen partner agencies, Assistant Director in Charge Kristi K. Johnson of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office announced the results of “Operation Lost Angels,” an initiative which began on January 11 and recently culminated in the recovery of 33 children.
During January Human Trafficking Awareness Month the FBI worked with the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and more than two dozen law enforcement and non-governmental partners to identify, locate, and recover missing children, particularly those who have been or were suspected of being sexually exploited and/or trafficked.
Of the 33 children recovered in Operation Lost Angels, eight were being sexually exploited at the time of recovery. Two were recovered multiple times during the operation while on the “track,” a common term used to describe a known location for commercial sex trafficking.

VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. - The Ventura County Sheriff s Office is encouraging residents to reliquish any unwanted guns during a gun-turn in event on Wednesday.
The sheriff s office is hosting the turn-in from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the
Thousand Oaks, Moorpark, Camarillo, Fillmore, Ojai and Headquarters (located at the government center) patrol stations.
Many residents own or have inherited firearms they no longer need or want.
The sheriff s office said turning in unwanted or unneeded firearms for destruction prevents misuse or accidental discharges within a home, but also rids the home of unwanted guns, which helps eliminate the risk of theft and the possibility of those unwanted guns ending up on the street and in the hands of criminals.
