Three people, including two San Diego police detectives, were killed Friday in a fiery head-on collision caused by a speeding motorist heading the wrong way on Interstate 5 near the U.S.- Mexico border, authorities reported.
The errant driver's Honda Civic reportedly was traveling as fast as 90 mph to the north on the southbound side of the freeway before it smashed into an oncoming Ford sedan occupied by the SDPD personnel near Dairy Mart Road in San Ysidro shortly before 10:30 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
Following the crash, one of the two involved cars began burning, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department reported.
The wrong-way driver and the male and female police detectives died at the scene. During an evening briefing, Chief Nisleit identified the two detectives as a married couple, Jamie Huntley-Park and Ryan Park.
