CHP Probes Temecula I-15 Median-Crossing Crash That Killed 4

CHP is seeking witnesses as it evaluates potential charges.

Overview

  • A northbound BMW M4 crossed the concrete divider into southbound lanes near Winchester Road late Saturday and struck a Nissan Sentra, igniting the BMW.
  • Three BMW passengers — a 23-year-old woman and two teenagers, 14 and 15, all from Moreno Valley — were pronounced dead at the scene.
  • The Nissan driver, a 35-year-old man from Wildomar, died en route to a hospital, and a 22-year-old passenger was hospitalized in critical condition.
  • Good Samaritans pulled the 25-year-old BMW driver from the burning car; he sustained major injuries and was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center.
  • Investigators say alcohol is not believed to be a factor, charges for the BMW driver are pending, and witnesses are urged to contact the Temecula-area CHP; a locally reported account names former NFL player Glenn Cadrez as the rescuer, which officials have not confirmed.
