RAMONA: Four dead, five injured in head-on crash on Highway 78
At least four people died —- including two young girls —- and five others were injured in a head-on crash Tuesday afternoon on Highway 78 east of Ramona, authorities said. The injured include a 6-year-old girl with life-threatening injuries.
The two girls, ages 8 and 9, were passengers in an eastbound 2004 Honda Odyssey minivan that crashed head-on with a westbound 2010 Pontiac Vibe about 3:15 p.m. on the two-lane road, said California Highway Patrol Officer Brian Pennings.
The driver of each car also died, including a 33-year-old San Diego woman at the wheel of the minivan, Pennings said. He said he had no information about the age and city of residence of the Pontiac driver, the lone occupant of the car, which landed on its roof.
Six children and two adults were in the minivan. A 3-year-old boy, a 6-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl were taken to Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego with minor to moderate injuries, Pennings said.
A 6-year-old girl was rushed to Children’s Hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries, he said. A 67-year-old woman in the front passenger seat was taken to Palomar Medical Center in Escondido with major injuries, Pennings said.
Pennings said the 3-year-old boy was properly restrained in a child’s car seat, but the 6-year-old girl had not been in a car seat. California law requires children to be in a car seat or a booster seat until they are 8 years old or until they reach 4 feet, 9 inches tall.
CHP shut down both sides of the two-lane highway and issued a SigAlert.
Pennings said the cause of the crash was under investigation, but said authorities have not come across any evidence that drugs or alcohol played a role.
