EL CAJON, Calif.—An investigation was continuing Dec. 19 into the cause of a two-vehicle crash on the 8 Freeway in El Cajon that killed a 32-year-old woman from Lemon Grove.
The collision on the eastbound highway at the Second Street off-ramp occurred about 4:30 a.m. Dec. 18, according to the California Highway Patrol. The woman was driving a 2002 Audi TT eastbound on the freeway west of Second Street, just as a second driver in a Honda CRV was on the off-ramp to Second Street, officer Matthew Baranowski said.
For unknown reasons, the Audi driver “allowed her vehicle to travel off the roadway, where it struck a tree before colliding into the Honda” and died at the scene, Baranowski said….
