A 24-year-old driver was killed Sunday when he lost control of his SUV and collided with a parked vehicle in San Diego’s Mount Hope neighborhood, damaging three additional parked vehicles, authorities said Monday.
The crash occurred around 10:50 p.m. when the driver behind the wheel of a Mazda CX5 plowed at a high rate of speed into a parked 1995 Jeep Wrangler along the east curb of 42nd Street near J Street, according to the San Diego Police Department.
Police officials said the driver was ejected from his SUV and pronounced dead at the scene. His name was not immediately available.
It was unclear what prompted the crash, but it was reported he “left his residence after breaking glass items,” police said.
The crash was under investigation.
