ALPINE, CA (June 6, 2021) – A woman was killed in a two-vehicle accident on 8 Freeway in Alpine Thursday night, June 3.
 
The accident happened around 6:00 p.m. near Tavern Road. According to the California Highway Patrol, a 65-year-old Chula Vista man was driving a 2006 GMC Sierra pickup on the westbound freeway. For unknown reasons, he collided with a westbound 2000 Toyota Solara sedan, driven by an 18-year-old Los Angeles man.
