Two motorists were killed Friday on Interstate 5 near San Diego International Airport in a predawn crash involving two SUVs, including one heading north on the southbound side of the freeway.<\/p>\n
The deadly collision between a Honda CR-V and a Dodge Durango took place shortly before 3 a.m., just south of Laurel Street in the Little Italy area, according to the California Highway Patrol.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Durango, a 56-year-old El Cajon man, died at the scene of the crash, the CHP reported. His name was withheld pending family notification.<\/p>\n
Medics took the other motorist, 62-year-old Jesus Verduzco of Bonita, to UCSD Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead a little more than an hour after the crash, according to the state agency and the Medical Examiner\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Though the Highway Patrol reported that one of the SUVs was traveling the wrong way at the time of the wreck, it remained unclear in the mid-afternoon which one it was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two motorists were killed Friday on Interstate 5 near San Diego International Airport in a predawn crash involving…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":38409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[7,138,181,5329,23,100,74,84,76,75],"class_list":["post-338226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-california","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-little-italy","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-county","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=338226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/338226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=338226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=338226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=338226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
