Unsafe Speed Kills 1 San Diegan, Injures 2 Others
Early on May 17, one person was killed and two others injured in San Diego when the driver lost control of the Oldsmobile he was driving while traveling westbound on I-8. Moments later another vehicle, a Nissan Maxima, crashed into the wreckage.
CHP officers blamed excessive speed as the cause of the accident.
The driver of the Oldsmobile was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and passenger of the Nissan were transported to the hospital for treatment.
Speed is the primary factor associated with car accidents. Inattentiveness, perhaps due to exhaustion, is another primary factor. Given the time of day the accident occurred, it is not unreasonable to assume that exhaustion also played a factor.
