A 20-year-old woman was killed Wednesday after being struck by an SUV when her car crashed and became inoperable on Interstate 5 in San Diego.
The incident happened around 1:12 a.m. in the southbound lanes of I-5, just south of Washington Street. According to the California Highway Patrol, an 18-year-old woman was driving an Infiniti and carrying a 20-year-old passenger when she lost control and collided with the concrete center divider.
The Infiniti came to a stop in the traffic lanes, and both women exited the disabled vehicle. The CHP claimed that a 52-year-old Chula Vista male driving a black Toyota SUV collided with the Infiniti and the 20-year-old woman.
The woman sustained severe injuries and was pronounced deceased. The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office has withheld her name until her family is contacted.
Investigators do not believe drinking or drugs were involved in the accident. The circumstances surrounding the crash are still under investigation.
The CHP requested anybody who observed the incident to call its San Diego office at 858-293-6000.
