The crash, which did not involve any other vehicles, happened at about 10 p.m. Tuesday, according to the medical examiner.
Pittsburgh police and medics responded to the incident at Perrysville and Kenwood avenues.
“Once on scene, officers observed a vehicle that had struck a tree, causing serious damage,” Pittsburgh Public Safety spokesman Maurice Matthews said. “Medics were already treating the female driver at the scene.”
Watkins was pronounced dead at Allegheny General Hospital shortly before midnight.
