Valley Center Head-On Car Accident Kills Two San Diegans
A head-on car collision on April 18, 2010, between a 2002 Nissan Altima and 2004 Mercedes left both the drivers dead. The crash occurred at 4 a.m. on Old Castle Road, east of Champagne Boulevard. Nissan Altima driver has been identified as a 32-yearold woman from Oceanside named Michelle Santos. She was returning from work when her car suddenly drifted towards the oncoming lane and struck the 2004 Mercedes.
The Mercedes driver’s identity was yet to be established. She was a 65-year old Fallbrook woman. Both the drivers were not under alcohol or drugs at the time of the auto accident but the Mercedes driver was not wearing the seat belt.
Our office wishes to extend our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the friends and family of the deceased. It is tragic losing someone you love no matter what the circumstances are. Early morning driving is very dangerous and requires one to be very vigilant and alert. The main reason behind accidents and crashes during these hours is exhaustion. Always make sure that you are alert and awake whenever you drive a motor vehicle.
