Initial investigations revealed a male driver and female passengers were making a u-turn in a white sedan just before 3 p.m., Tuesday Feb. 26 when a black vehicle driving eastbound was unable to avoid colliding with the car.

Both people in the white car were taken to Riverside Community Hospital where the driver died as a result of his injuries, Sgt. Porterfield said.

The female passenger’s condition has not been released.

“At this point in the investigation it is not known whether alcohol was a factor in the collision,” Sgt. Porterfield added.

Anyone with further details regarding this ongoing investigation is urged to contact deputies at 951-955-2600.
