          The Solano County coroner's office identified the girl as Savana
Price. She was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash at 5:44 a.m.
          Price was speeding in a 1998 Nissan Frontier south on Ramsey Road

the truck. It is unknown if drugs or alcohol were a factor in the collision,
Parker said.
