San Diego, CA – 3 Killed After Vehicle Leaves Road on Camino Santa Fe
San Diego, CA (March 14, 2020) – Three young adults were killed following a single-vehicle collision in San Diego on Saturday morning, March 14th. According to officials from the San Diego Police Department, the collision occurred at the 9900 block of Camino Santa Fe at around 9:45 p.m. Initial reports revealed that an 18-year-old woman was driving a Chevy pickup south on the roadway when she lost control of the vehicle.
The pickup was reportedly traveling at a high rate of speed when it began to spin and then collided with a tree. Three passengers in the vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver survived but suffered third and fourth-degree burns.
The identities of those involved in the accident haven’t been reported. An ongoing investigation into the crash is currently in progress.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased victims at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victim and his family in hopes of a full recovery.
Run-Off-Road Crashes in California
Leaving the roadway is the leading cause of roadway fatalities involving single-vehicle crashes. Statistics show that nearly 70 percent of single-vehicle accidents involve cars exiting the road, often striking a stationary object. The force of these crashes is magnified when drivers are speeding.
The aftermath of a serious collision can be devastating. When victims are injured or killed when riding in a vehicle that leaves the roadway, it’s possible for those involved to pursue lost compensation for their injuries. Sometimes, surviving family members of a crash victim can be eligible for compensation with the help of a qualified California car crash attorney.
