A 56-year-old Huntington Beach man has been killed and three other people were injured in a car accident south of Lake Elsinore.
The California Highway Patrol said that the unnamed Huntington Beach man was driving east on Ortega Highway when he lost control of his Jeep Cherokee on a curve in the road near Decker Canyon Road. The Jeep hit the left side of a Ford F-150 traveling west on the same road, causing its driver to lose control and hit a Chevrolet Silverado.
The Jeep driver was flown to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar, where he later died. A passenger in the Jeep, identified only as a Huntington Beach woman, and the other two drivers were taken to the same trauma center in unknown condition. The investigation into the crash is ongoing.
