Head-On Crash on La Cresta Road Leaves One Dead, DUI Suspected

EL CAJON, Calif. — A two-vehicle crash on La Cresta Road Wednesday afternoon resulted in one fatality and left another driver seriously injured, authorities said. The collision occurred at approximately 2:54 p.m. on February 11, 2026, on La Cresta Road east of Coyote Ridge. According to the California Highway Patrol, a 30-year-old El Cajon woman was driving a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado eastbound on La Cresta Road. At the same time, a 72-year-old Ramona woman was driving a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta westbound, approaching the Chevrolet’s path of travel. For reasons still under investigation, the driver of the Chevrolet crossed over the solid double-yellow lines into the westbound lane, colliding head-on with the Volkswagen. The driver of the Volkswagen suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene by medical personnel. The driver of the Chevrolet was transported to Sharp Memorial Hospital with major injuries. Investigators say alcohol appears to be a factor in the crash. The collision remains under investigation. “Driving under the influence, speeding and unsafe turns continue to be leading causes of crashes on our roadways, especially during inclement weather,” said Captain Monteagudo. “I urge all drivers to not drive while impaired, slow down, obey posted speed limits, approach every turn with caution, and be extra careful during inclement weather.” Anyone with information related to the crash is encouraged to contact authorities. 📹: Video Courtesy of San Diego News Video
