Fatal East San Diego County SUV Accident Near Barona Casino

One person was killed and another injured in an East San Diego County SUV accident that took place on State Route 67 (SR-67) near Muth Valley Road, on March 7, 2010. This fatal car accident occurred around 12:20 pm.

The traffic collision between a pickup truck and SUV happened near the Barona Resort & Casino, just south of the Barona Indian Reservation. One person was pronounced dead at the scene and at least one other was taken to a hospital according to a Heartland Fire dispatcher. The police are still investigating the cause for the auto accident.

Our office forwards our condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased. We also pray for a quick recovery for the injured person.   We never like to hear that anyone is injured or killed in a car wreck.  Unfortunately, it happens all too often—particularly along Wildcat Canyon Road and SR-67.  That stretch of highway is the most dangerous road in San Diego County and is home to more fatal auto accidents than any other highway based upon traffic volume.  We recommend that motorists avoid using this highway unless they absolutely have to drive it.  If you have to drive on this road, be extra careful.
