A Fatal Collision on SR-163 in Miramar Claims One Life
In a tragic turn of events late Monday night, a two-vehicle collision on southbound state Route 163 near the Miramar area resulted in the death of one individual, according to police reports.
The incident occurred when a 66-year-old woman, driving a Toyota Highlander, was executing a left turn onto 6700 Kearny Villa Road. At this juncture, her vehicle was struck by a Ford F-450 truck, operated by a 49-year-old woman. The truck driver reportedly failed to halt at a red light at the intersection of Kearny Villa Road and the northbound SR-163 off-ramp, leading to a broadside collision with the Highlander.
Emergency services rushed the 66-year-old victim to a nearby hospital, where she was ultimately declared deceased.
Authorities have indicated that DUI does not appear to be a contributing factor in this devastating accident.
The aftermath of the crash saw the temporary closure of southbound SR-163 north of the Kearny Villa Road on-ramp. The roadway was, however, reopened to traffic shortly before 11 p.m., as stated by Caltrans San Diego.
