SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A fatal crash on State Route 94 prompted multiple lane closures for several hours on Saturday.
The crash was reported at around 8:50 a.m. Saturday on the SR-94 ramp near Interstate 15, according to the California Highway Patrol.
A Mini Cooper veered off the roadway while transitioning from SR-94 westbound to I-15 northbound, striking multiple obstacles, including a CalTrans exit sign. CHP said the vehicle then landed on the roof of a Nissan Murano on SR-94 westbound.
The driver of the Mini Cooper died upon impact. Two occupants of the Nissan Murano were transported to a local hospital for minor injuries, CHP said.
After the incident, SR-94 westbound, between Interstate 805 and I-15, remained closed for hours to facilitate the on-scene investigation and necessary cleanup.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, officials said. It is uncertain whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the incident.
