A driver died after a crash that resulted in a vehicle fire in Moreno Valley on Sunday, May 29.

The fire was reported at 9:37 a.m. on Perris Boulevard, between Heacock Street and Canyon Vista Road, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Responding deputies found a burning BMW 3 series at the scene, the Sheriff’s Department said.

Responding firefighters were quickly able to contain the flames engulfing the vehicle, Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire officials said.

The driver was declared dead at the scene, sheriff’s officials said.

It was determined the BMW was traveling south on Perris at a high rate of speed, the Sheriff’s Department said. For an unknown reason, the BMW veered to the right, struck a curb, and launched onto a dirt embankment and continued about 200 feet before striking a tree, officials said.

The person’s identity was not immediately released.
