Fatal Accident on 18 near Big Bear
A stretch of Highway 18 near Baldwin Lake has reopened after being closed for more than six hours due to a collision earlier today between a big rig trailer and an SUV that killed a Big Bear City woman and injured her 16-year-old passenger.
The 37-year-old woman, Lili De Coronado, was at the wheel of a 2006 Kia Sorrento traveling east on Highway 18 just east of Paradise Way about 11 a.m., said Officer Benjamin Baker, spokesman for the Arrowhead area office of the Highway Patrol, in a news release.
At the same time, Fred Riley, 51, of Menifee, was traveling west on 18 in a Peterbilt dump truck pulling a dump trailer, Baker said. As he entered a leftward curve in the road, Riley’s truck ran up on the right shoulder of the roadway, the trailer colliding with the mountainside.
The collision separated the gravel box from the trailer’s frame, the box coming to rest in the opposing lane, Baker said. The trailer frame bounced into the opposing lane and slammed into the Kia.
The Kia’s driver was taken to Bear Valley Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, Baker said. The 16-year-old girl was airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center with unspecified injuries. Her condition was not being made public.
The collision closed the highway between Paradise Way and Baldwin Lake Road for most of the day, while investigators tried to piece together what happened and crews worked to remove about 12 tons of cinders dumped on the road when the trailer was wrecked. It reopened about 5:45 p.m.
CHP continues to investigate the accident.

Vehicle rollover on Hwy. 99 ejects one, injures three
Three women were injured about 10 a.m. today when a Toyota Tacoma pickup flipped over while passing a big rig on Highway 99, just north of Nelson-Shippee Road.
The pickup came to rest upside down in a flooded rice field.
A passenger sitting on a bench seat between the driver and a passenger wasn’t wearing a seat belt, and was ejected. Identified as Arin Oshiro, 20, of Chico, the woman suffered moderate injuries. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
The driver, identified as Ayumi Yoshihama, 21, and a second passenger, Saho Takiduchi, 21, both of Chico, were also transported to a local hospital, but had less serious injuries.
The two women were briefly trapped inside the vehicle.
Cause of the Richvale crash
Based on the information provided by news reports, it appears the driver may likely be at fault for the collision due to traveling at “a high rate of speed.” However, the California Highway Patrol will determine other possible factors that could have contributed to the crash such as distracted driving, negligent or reckless actions by the driver, and road conditions.
The California Highway Patrol said the driver, traveling south, lost control during the pass, went back across the highway, then hit a dirt berm, launching the vehicle into the air. Investigators added that the driver may have been startled when her vehicle went over a rumble strip.

Driver, victim in fatal San Miguel Canyon crash identified
An Aptos teen who crashed a van filled with young adults on San Miguel Canyon Road on Friday night, killing a 21-year-old passenger, has been identified by the California Highway Patrol as Erica Shanice Duran.
The passenger who died was Joshua W. Perez of Salinas, CHP Sgt. Wayne DiSalvo said.
Duran, 19, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter, DiSalvo said.
She had six passengers in the 1993 Honda van when she crashed at about 9:35 p.m. east of Corto San Miguel Road, not far from Hall Road, the CHP said.
A witness driving behind the van told officers she was traveling at a high rate of speed when she tried to pass another vehicle by crossing over double-yellow lines, lost control and struck a tree, DiSalvo said.
“It’s just tragic that they were not taking driving under the influence seriously,” he said. “And at high speed over double-yellow lines, especially on San Miguel Canyon, that’s just a recipe for death.” Two of the passengers were sitting on people’s laps, DiSalvo said.
And though Friday three people were listed as having major injuries, including the driver, by Monday all but one had been reclassified as having minor or moderate ones, he said.
A 24-year-old Watsonville woman remains in critical condition at a regional trauma center, DiSalvo said.
Also in the van were two teen girls from Watsonville, ages 17 and 19, and two men from Salinas, one of them Perez, ages 19 and 24.
