Two Vehicles Collide on 15 Freeway in Lake Elsinore Injuring Two Drivers, One Critically

 
LAKE ELSINORE, CA (November 5, 2024) – Two people were injured in a two-vehicle accident on 15 Freeway in Lake Elsinore Monday morning on November 4.
 
The accident happened shortly before 6:00 a.m. just south of Main Street. According to the California Highway Patrol, a 33-year-old Wildomar man was driving a 2022 Infiniti Q60 over 75 mph when he plowed into the rear of a 2016 Toyota Corolla traveling at a slightly slower speed.
 
The Toyota veered out of lanes and into the center divider, where it came to rest. The Infiniti traveled down the dirt embankment, struck a Eucalyptus tree and went through a freeway perimeter fence, before rolling over and colliding with two parked vehicles on private property.
 
Riverside County Fire Department paramedics found the Infiniti driver with major life-threatening injuries. They took him to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar for treatment.

The Toyota driver, a 35-year-old Corona man, suffered minor injuries and did not require hospitalization.

It was not immediately clear whether alcohol or drugs may have been factors in the crash, which is under investigation.
