San Diego, CA : Driver killed in fiery crash on SR-94 near Golden Hill on Saturday, 23rd December 2023

A driver was killed in a fiery crash on Saturday morning after their car became airborne on State Route 94 near Golden Hill in San Diego, prompting multiple lane closures for several hours.

At around 8:51 a.m. on Saturday, a driver who has yet to be identified was driving a Mini Cooper on the SR-94 westbound transition to Interstate 15 northbound when the car veered off the roadway towards the left, hitting a concrete wall.

Next, the car veered to the right, striking another concrete wall and launching off the freeway transition, according to California Highway Patrol.

While airborne, the Mini Cooper struck a CalTrans exit sign and landed onto the roof of a 2015 Nissan Murano traveling westbound on SR-94 before hitting the road and becoming fully engulfed in flames.

Debris from the Nissan Murano then struck a 2020 Hyundai Accent, CHP said.
