A passenger died Sunday, June 26, when a car blew a tire and rolled over off the 10 Freeway in Redlands, the California Highway Patrol said.
Four other people were injured. The dead passenger, and two other passengers who suffered minor injuries, were not wearing seat belts, a CHP news release said. The driver and another passenger, who were wearing seat belts, had moderate injuries, the CHP said.
The crash happened at about 7:50 p.m. in the westbound lanes. As the 2002 Toyota passed the Ford Street off-ramp, the left rear tire blew out. The car veered across the freeway, struck a curb and tumbled down an embankment, landing on the Ford Street on-ramp, the CHP said.
The passenger who died, a 30-year-old man from Mexico, was thrown from the car. A passerby performed CPR on the man, the Redlands Fire Department said. He was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, the CHP said.
