Last Updated on January 15, 2023 by CCAR Staff

MORENO VALLEY — A motorist killed in a crash at a freeway interchange in Moreno Valley was identified today as a local 24-year-old man.

The deadly wreck happened shortly after 3 a.m. Thursday, where Interstate 215 splits from the Moreno Valley (60) Freeway, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Dwight Howard Jr. was driving his 1996 Honda sedan southbound on I-215, transitioning to the eastbound 60, when he apparently lost control and careened off the freeway, plummeting down an embankment and slamming into a concrete wall along the northbound 215.

The victim died at the scene. His passenger, a 23-year-old man, suffered moderate injuries and was taken to Riverside County Regional Medical Center for treatment.

The crash remains under investigation.
