San Diego, CA – A man was killed early Wednesday morning when his car flew off an overpass and crashed onto the highway below, according to the California Highway Patrol. The deadly incident occurred at approximately 3:35 a.m. on April 3, at the interchange between Highway 94 and State Route 15. Authorities say the vehicle was traveling northbound on SR-15 from eastbound Highway 94 when, for reasons still under investigation, it veered off the overcrossing. The car landed in a patch of vegetation along the right shoulder of westbound Highway 94.CHP officers arrived to find the vehicle severely damaged and the driver already deceased. His identity has not yet been released pending family notification. Tragically, this marks the second fatal crash at the same overpass within a week and the fifth such incident in the past year, raising safety concerns about the design and traffic conditions of the area.
A tragic incident occurred recently in San Diego when a vehicle plunged off a bridge, resulting in the driver’s death. While specific details about this latest event are still emerging, similar past incidents highlight the dangers of such accidents.
In a notable case from November 2016, a vehicle veered off Interstate 8 at the Pine Valley Creek Bridge in eastern San Diego County, plunging into a rocky gorge and killing the driver. The 33-year-old man was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. Authorities were uncertain whether the vehicle was on the 440-foot-tall span or approaching it when the crash occurred.
In another incident from October 2016, a pickup truck driven by a U.S. Navy sailor plunged off the San Diego-Coronado Bridge into a crowd at Chicano Park, killing four people and injuring nine others. The driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
These incidents underscore the importance of road safety and the potential consequences of vehicular accidents involving bridges.
