One person died in a car crash Saturday morning in Paso Robles. 

Police say the single vehicle crash happened at the intersection of Golden Hill Road and Creston Road at 2:22 a.m. The driver reportedly crashed into a light pole when she was driving west on Creston Road, approaching Golden Hill Road, and lost control.
