Report of Fatal Ramona Car Accident Completed Regarding Death of Alexandria Drake
The long standing investigation of the March 29th San Diego County car accident which took the life of 25 year-old mother Alexandria Drake was completed recently by the California Highway Patrol and submitted for review to the District Attorney's Office. While the CHP have not released specifics on their recommendations for charges against Melvin Pearls, 48, of Ranchita, they will be made available at a later date, according to Deputy District Attorney Doug Rose.
The highly publicized San Diego County fatal car crash ensued when Pearles was driving along the highly problematic State Route 67 near Ramona. Pearles was driving about 80 mph in a Jaguar when he lost control and crossed into oncoming traffic and reportedly collided with several vehicles, one driven by Alexandria Drake of Chula Vista. The collision spun Drake's car off the road and into a tree, resulting in her death.
Pearles claims that the cause of his losing control was a white BMW just east of Archie Moore Road where the highway's two lanes merge. It had been originally thought that the drivers of the Jaguar and BMW had been street racing, although not confirmed, and the white BMW had disappeared and never stopped after the car collisions.
The notorious fatal San Diego County hit and run auto accident has been perplexing due to the BMW's involvement and the community's inability to find the driver, especially because of the degree of tragedy of such a wrongful death of a young mother. If you ever witness an auto accident, it is important to stay and report to authorities, especially to help victims find justice.
