WINCHESTER, CA (December 10, 2023) – Friday night, a devastating head-on crash on Winchester Road and Pourroy Road killed 1 person.
The incident happened at around 8:25 p.m. on Winchester Road, just north of Pourroy Road.
According to reports, a 20-year-old man succumbed to injuries after he allegedly tried an illegal U-turn which led to a head-on crash with an SUV.
California Highway Patrol officials added that impaired driving may have also played a role in the crash. Then, a driver and passenger in the SUV were transported to Inland Valley Medical Center with moderate injuries.
Meanwhile, witnesses revealed that a Honda Accord, being driven by the 20-year-old from Winchester, was driving north. Then, it tried to make an illegal U-turn over two sets of painted solid double yellow lines. Meanwhile, the SUV, a Nissan Rogue, was driving south at the time and the two vehicles crashed.

Then, officers revealed that the driver of the SUV waded a 56-year-old Oceanside man and his passenger a 17-year-old boy.
Also, the authorities haven’t disclosed the identity of the driver of the Honda due to pending family notification.
