 San Diego, CA, May 24, 2025 — A devastating single-vehicle crash in the early morning hours of Friday resulted in the death of a female driver after her SUV slammed into a tree and split in half, sparking a fire that consumed part of the vehicle. The incident occurred at approximately 2:35 a.m. in the northbound lanes of California State Route 15, just east of Interstate 805. According to initial reports, the female driver was traveling in a Kia SUV when, for unknown reasons, she lost control of the vehicle.
