SAN DIEGO — One person was killed and two people were injured in a collision on Interstate 8 in the College Area on Monday, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The crash occurred at about 10 a.m. on the westbound side of the freeway near the College Avenue onramp, according to the CHP.

CHP Sgt. Connie Lloyd said the car was traveling about 65 to 70 mph when the driver lost control of the car, which spun out and slammed into a guardrail.

The driver, whose name was not immediately available, died at the scene. Two passengers – a man and a woman – were transported to local hospitals to be treated for their injuries. Their conditions were unknown.

A Sig Alert was issued for the College Avenue onramp to westbound I-8. It was canceled at about 11:45 a.m.

Cause of the San Diego County Crash

As  passengers, the deceased likely could have done nothing to prevent this fatal  collision that ultimately took their lives. The California Highway Patrol will surely look at the speed of the vehicle, witness reports, and other factors to determine what occurred and who was responsible. Collisions such as this one can have countless causes, including unsafe passing maneuvers, swerving to avoid an object in the road, falling asleep at the wheel, driving under the influence, or driver distraction.  CHP officerLloyd said the crash was “100 percent rain-related” and urged drivers to slow down.

Automobile Collisions and Serious Injury Liability

While the accident on March 19th remains under investigation, the  family members of the victim would be well-advised to seek immediate consultation from a San Diego personal injury Lawyer. An experienced attorney can advise the victims of their legal rights and decide the best course of action in recovering the maximum compensation for their injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Also, in unique and complex situations such as this one, an attorney can hire a highly skilled independent investigator to reconstruct the scene of the accident to determine who is at fault.
