The accident occurred just minutes after 12:00 p.m. on the Interstate 15 Freeway. The scene wasn’t far from Rancho Penasquitos Boulevard, officers reported.
A Ford Fusion was reportedly heading south on Interstate 15 and driving well over 100 miles per hour.

The vehicle couldn’t slow down in time and had no empty lane for passing. It ended up slamming into another vehicle on the freeway, according to reports.
