SANTEE, Calif. -- Speeding is blamed for a car crash that killed an 18-year-old woman Monday, 10News reported.

The California Highway Patrol said Jessica Turner lost control of her red Ford Thunderbird just before 9:30 a.m. on state Route 67 at Woodside Avenue in Santee.

The car rolled and Turner was ejected. No one else was in the car.

Investigators said Turner was driving between 85 and 90 miles per hour.

She was on her way home from school.

"Our information is she was sent home for inappropriate dress and was on her way home," CHP officer Brain Pennings said.

Turner attended Chaparral High School.

Subtitle: Dress codes kill. In the old days, we would have said " Speed kills". Today was the first day of the school year. The School District instituted a Dress Code, : No cleavage or bare midriffs for the females, no baggy sagging clothes for the males.They told her to go hoome and come back when you comply.

Not wearing your seatbelt during a crash while going 90 mph kills.

Hmmm .. couldn't have been the 85-90 MPH she was traveling that was at fault now could it .... naw, I'm sure the dress code will get the blame.

My guess is that she was probably trying to drive home, change, and drive back so she could miss as little of the school day as possible. Which does not make the dress code the cause of her death; my guess is that it was likely publicized, but that she chose to ignore it.

It's not the speed, it's the sudden stop.

Bad drivers kill.

Kids don't think about dying,two high school kids racing about a mile from my house,one hit a telophone pole,17 year old girl passenger killed.

New telephone pole with a new clean white cross and wreath nailed to it about every month.

Drive by it twice a day.

Wonder who's putting up that wreath and cross?

Most schools have a collection of tops and Tees and jeans that students can change into..or her friends didn't have something in their lockers she could borrow..Something's wrong here, because students would use this a dodge to get sent home everytime..the school would never have a policy like this...

No...she took her eyes off the road to look down around the short skirt and was mulling over whether she needed to do a little gardening when she got home.
