A 42-year-old woman died in a crash along the 15 Freeway in Temescal Valley on Tuesday, Nov. 12, authorities said.
The crash happened about 12:20 p.m. when the 2004 Toyota Tacoma, being driven at a “high rate of speed” by a 19-year-old, went off the right edge of the northbound lanes and overturned several times north of Temescal Canyon Road, the California Highway Patrol said.
A passenger, Katie Towery, died at 12:38 p.m., the Riverside County Coroner’s Office said. Towery was the mother of the driver.
The 19-year-old was hospitalized with moderate to major injuries, the CHP said.
The CHP news release said Katie Towery lived in Hemet. A post on her Facebook page said she moved to Temecula in August. Towery listed her occupation as a housekeeper at Pechanga Resort Casino and said she attended Mt. San Jacinto College and Hemet High.
The CHP asked witnesses to call the accident investigation unit at 951-637-8000.
