SAN DIEGO COUNTY (KGTV) — The California Highway Patrol says a 24-year-old man died in a single-car crash near Palomar Mountain Monday evening.
According to CHP's press release, the Valley Center man was driving a white Mazda MPV, traveling westbound on SR-76 east of South Grade Road, around 5:45 p.m. on April 24.
