Authorities today identified a man who was fatally injured in a crash on the San Diego (405) Freeway in Westminster.
Robert Pineda, 35, of Claremont was driving a 2008 Honda CR-V just after midnight Sunday in the carpool lane, north of Newland Street, when the SUV swerved into the center divider and overturned, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Tom Joy.
Pineda, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected from the SUV as it rolled over, he said.
A Mercedes-Benz SUV crashed into the Honda when it finally stopped, and a 28-year-old Claremont woman who was in the passenger seat next to Pineda sustained “major injuries” in the collision, Joy said.
