MENIFEE — A 17-year-old driver fatally injured in a crash in Menifee on Sunday apparently lost control of his vehicle and smashed into a roadside retaining wall, authorities said Tuesday.
Aaron Lane of Lake Elsinore died when his vehicle crashed into the wall, according to the Menifee Police Department.
He died at 11:53 a.m. at Briggs Road and Curzulla Road, the Riverside County Coroner’s Office said.
Menifee Police Sgt. Matthew Bloch said that, for unknown reasons, Lane’s vehicle veered off of Briggs and onto a dirt path, then struck the wall at an undetermined speed.
Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department paramedics arrived minutes later and attempted life-saving measures, but the teen was pronounced dead at the scene.
“The exact cause of the collision is still under investigation,” the sergeant said.
Anyone with information about the crash was asked to contact the police department’s Traffic Unit at 951-723-1690.
