SAN JACINTO (CNS) - A young man from San Jacinto was killed early Tuesday, Sept. 15 and his companion was badly injured in a solo car crash on Interstate 15 in the northern reaches of the San Diego area.
The driver and passenger, both 21, were in a northbound Lexus ES 350 that veered out of control at high speed and veered off the freeway south of Gopher Canyon Road in the Hidden Meadows area shortly after 12:30 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
The sedan traveled across a dirt-and-asphalt center median, went up a brushy embankment and struck a wire guardrail at the top of the slope, CHP public-affairs Officer Mark Latulippe said. It then overturned and rolled repeatedly side-over-side back down the hill, ejecting the driver.
Medics took the two men to Palomar Medical Ce
