Pedestrian Killed in Fatal Winchester Car Accident
18-year-old Christian Antonio Lamas was fatally struck in a Winchester car accident that occurred on October 2, 2011 around 9:15 p.m. at Winchester and Holland roads, south of Diamond Valley Lake. According to California Highway Patrol, a 60-year-old Hemet man driving his 2008 Honda Element northbound struck Lamas from behind on Highway 79.
Lamas suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the accident scene. The driver has not been cited as yet as the accident is still under investigation.
The investigation will reveal if Hemet was at fault or any other factor contributed to this accident.
