A woman who was killed in a solo-vehicle crash in Temescal Valley was identified.
Sonmadeep Gadria, 24, of Corona, was injured at 2:53 a.m. Wednesday, April 1, in a crash on the southbound side of Interstate 15 just south of Temescal Canyon Road, a coroner’s official said.
She was pronounced dead at the Inland Valley Medical Center at 8:17 a.m. that morning.
Gadria was an emergency medical technician with American Medical Response, said her colleague Dustin Eshelman.
She was a dedicated worker who did the work because she loved to help people, Eshelman, a paramedic who worked with her, said.
“Biggest thing about her was she loved her job, loved running 911 calls and serving the public,” he said.
Gadria was driving an Infinity G-37 at a high speed in the fast lane when, for unknown reasons, she veered into the median and lost control of the vehicle, police said.
The car crossed the northbound lanes, went over the shoulder and plunged several hundred feet down an embankment, officials said.
Gadria was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle during the crash, police said.
