A 75-year-old woman killed in a suspected DUI crash involving a 38-year-old Norco man was identified as an investigation continued Monday.
The collision occurred around 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Collett Avenue and Stonewall Drive, according to Riverside police Sgt. Tim Jensen
Cathy Coiner of Riverside was driving a 2005 Jeep Liberty eastbound on Collett Avenue and had slowed to make a left turn when her vehicle was rear-ended by a 2014 Toyota Tundra driven by the Norco resident, according to police and a coroner’s report.
“As a result of the initial collision, the Jeep was pushed into oncoming lanes of traffic where it collided head-on with a red 2014 Toyota C-HR, driven by a 70-year-old male resident of Riverside,” he said.
Paramedics transported Coiner to a hospital, where she died from her injuries, police said.
It was unclear whether the 70-year-old man was injured.
The Norco man was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center.
