An SUV driver who was killed in a crash with a big-rig on Interstate Highway 880 in Fremont early Tuesday morning has been identified by the Alameda County coroner's bureau as 29-year-old San Jose resident Luciana Manriquez.

Manriquez was driving south on Highway 880 just south of Stevenson Boulevard around 4:50 a.m. when her car and the big-rig collided, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Manriquez, who was alone in the SUV, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The truck driver was uninjured in the crash.

A preliminary investigation indicated that Manriquez made an unsafe lane change in front of the big-rig, and that it struck the rear of the SUV, CHP Officer Quang Nguyen said.

Nguyen said he did not know if alcohol, drugs or speed were factors in the crash, which remains under investigation.

Three southbound lanes were shut down for more than an hour as crews cleared the scene.
