A woman was critically injured when her vehicle spun out and went off Interstate 15 in Temescal Valley, CHP and Cal Fire officials said.
The crash was reported at 2:53 a.m. Wednesday, April 1, on the northbound side south of Temescal Canyon Road, a CHP incident log shows.
A witness told a dispatcher the driver was going “extremely fast,” spun out, went over the edge, fell about 500 feet down an embankment and landed in a ditch. The driver flew out of the vehicle as it fell, the log shows.
Paramedics took the driver to a hospital with critical injuries, said Cal Fire spokeswoman Jody Hagemann.
