A 25-year-old Santa Monica woman was killed Friday when she lost control of her subcompact car and slammed into a tractor-trailer truck on the northbound San Diego (405) Freeway, officials said. The driver of the car, Dawn Hanna, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The impact forced both the car and the big rig into the center divider of the freeway, just south of Ventura Freeway. Authorities had to close lanes on both sides of the 405.

A third vehicle, driven by a 31-year-old woman, was also involved in the crash, officials said. The unidentified woman, who is 37 weeks pregnant, was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, officials said.
