SAN DIEGO (CNS) – One person was killed Wednesday when a car crashed off an elevated stretch of state Route 94 in South Park.
The vehicle was headed west at high speed shortly before 10:30 a.m. Wednesday when it struck an overpass wall at SR-15 and plunged off the roadway, according to the California Highway Patrol. The car landed on SR-94 eastbound, on the Home Avenue on ramp.
The driver was ejected from the car, which landed in a patch of ice plant and caught fire, the CHP reported. CHP says the car dropped about 25 feet.
The motorist died at the scene of the accident. His identity was not immediately available. No one on SR-94 east was injured in this crash. SR-94 east was shut down just west of the accident for the investigation and removal of the car and debris.
During that time, cars were rerouted to I-15 south.
