A sedan passenger suffered fatal injuries in a head-on crash involving a Barona Tribal Security SUV on Wildcat Canyon Road south of Ramona Saturday, authorities said.
The collision occurred about 6:40 p.m. when the officer swerved over the double yellow lines into the northbound lane and hit an oncoming sedan, California Highway Patrol Sgt. Jim McNamara told reporters at the scene.
Both vehicles sustained major front-end damage. One person was reported to be trapped in a vehicle, according to the CHP website.
Authorities said the female sedan passenger suffered major injuries and was given CPR, then taken by ambulance to Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego. She died a few hours later, a Medical Examiner's investigator said.
The two drivers also went to the hospital, with moderate injuries, McNamara said.
The CHP closed the road between San Vicente Oaks Road and Founders Way, near the Barona Casino on the Barona Ranch Indian Reservation until 10 p.m.
