A 32-year-old man was killed, and three others were injured when a speeding Porsche caused a nine-vehicle pileup at a Pacific Beach intersection in San Diego, authorities said Thursday.<\/p>\n
The fatal crash occurred at 7:59 p.m. Wednesday near 2800 Garnet Ave. at the intersection of Mission Bay Drive, according to the San Diego Police Department.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old was stopped at a westbound red light in a Kia when a westbound Porsche Cayman, driven by a 59-year-old man at a high rate of speed, slammed into the rear of the vehicle. The initial impact triggered a chain- reaction collision that ultimately involved nine vehicles.<\/p>\n
Paramedics transported the Kia driver to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the department reported. Three occupants from other vehicles involved in the pileup were treated at a hospital for minor injuries.<\/p>\n
Police arrested the 59-year-old Porsche driver at the scene on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter. Investigators determined alcohol was not a factor in the crash.<\/p>\n
Traffic officers continued to investigate the collision. Authorities urged anyone with information about the crash to contact Crime Stoppers at 888- 580-8477.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 32-year-old man was killed, and three others were injured when a speeding Porsche caused a nine-vehicle pileup…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[3552,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-409433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-crime-and-courts","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409433","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=409433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
