The Lake Elsinore Police Department is asking the public for information about a crash Sunday evening on Summerhill Drive, the road leading to the Tuscany Hills Community. The female driver, identified only as a Murrieta resident, died after she apparently lost control of her pickup truck in rainy conditions about 150 feet northwest of the intersection of Summerhill Drive and Canyon Ridge shortly after 5 p.m.
According to reports in the Valley News, the woman was travelling west on Summerhill when her truck struck a curb and rolled down a steep embankment. The driver was ejected and died at the scene of the crash. A passenger in the vehicle was taken to a local hospital with critical injuries. The cause of the Riverside County accident remains under investigation. Witnesses or anyone with information about the solo-vehicle rollover crash is asked to call Sgt. Marc Cloutier of the Lake Elsinore Police Department at (951) 245-3300.
