Tragic Collision Claims Lives in San Diego
In a heart-wrenching incident early Friday morning, a crash at the intersection of Poway Road and Sabre Springs Parkway ended the lives of two individuals—a promising 18-year-old woman and a 72-year-old man. The San Diego Police Department reported that the fatal collision occurred around 12:15 a.m., marking a somber instance of how quickly life can change.
Details of the Incident
The incident unfolded as the young woman was riding her Yamaha motorcycle eastbound. With a red signal against her, she collided with the driver’s side of a Mitsubishi Montero SUV, driven by the elderly man, who had a green arrow indicating it was safe to proceed. While the exact speed of the motorcycle remains undetermined, the force of the collision was significant, as highlighted by witnesses who described the crash as a thunderous noise that reverberated through the neighborhood.
Community Perspectives: Intersection Known for Speeding
This intersection, often referred to by locals as “the speedway,” has garnered attention over safety concerns due to high-speed traffic transitioning off Interstate 15. Residents like Nicolis Sandoval voice their frustrations, noting the traffic frequently exceeds the 50-mile-per-hour speed limit. “People are hauling all the way through here,” Sandoval commented, citing a desensitization to accidents that has sadly become common in the community.
Investigative Efforts Underway
The ongoing investigation by the Traffic Division of the SDPD hopes to piece together the specifics surrounding this tragic event. Authorities are encouraging anyone with potential information about the crash to reach out to the department or Crime Stoppers. As the families of the victims navigate their unimaginable loss, the community reflects on the importance of roadway safety in preventing such tragedies moving forward.
