A 23-year-old Menifee man was killed Tuesday, May 3, when his car went out of control and collided with a pickup in Winchester, the California Highway Patrol said.
The man, whose name was not announced, was driving a BMW north on Winchester Road, also known as Highway 79, at about 1:30 p.m. “at a high rate of speed,” said Officer Jason Montez, a CHP spokesman. A witness told the CHP that the BMW was driving recklessly and had cut her off.
As the BMW approached Patterson Avenue, it failed to make a right-to-left curve and went off the road before re-entering the two-lane road sideways, Montez said. A southbound pickup being driven by a 44-year-old San Bernardino resident at 50-60 mph then struck the right side of the BMW.
The driver of the BMW died at the scene. The pickup driver was hospitalized with minor injuries, Montez said.
Driving at an unsafe speed is the leading cause of crashes in the CHP’s San Gorgonio Pass area, Montez said.
