TEMECULA - A 31-year-old man was killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash today in Temecula.
Officers from the California Highway Patrol were called at 12:03 a.m. to the northbound Temecula Valley (15) Freeway just south of Clinton Keith Road, where a vehicle had collided with a guard rail on the freeway's center divider and plunged down a ravine, a CHP spokesman said.
Witnesses said the 2003 Honda Accord had been traveling at over 100 mph and made unsafe turning movements prior to losing control and crashing.
The CHP said the vehicle rolled several times down a dirt embankment and the driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the car.
He was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center, where he died of his injuries.
The victim was identified by the Riverside County corone
