A person was killed Saturday in a two-vehicle wreck at a French Valley intersection, where one of the vehicles rolled several times, ejecting the victim.
The deadly crash occurred at 12:42 p.m. at Auld and Pourroy roads, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The agency said a Jeep and a sedan impacted. One of the vehicles rolled three to four times before coming to rest on its wheels, according to the CHP.
An occupant was tossed onto the roadway, suffering catastrophic injuries, according to reports from the scene. Riverside County Fire Department paramedics pronounced the victim, whose identity was not immediately released, dead minutes later.
One other person was injured, but not seriously. It was unclear whether the party required hospitalization.
CHP officers and sheriff’s deputies partially closed the intersection while a preliminary investigation was conducted and the wreckage was cleared.
