SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A person who apparently was injured in an overnight traffic accident on an Otay Mesa freeway connector was found dead Wednesday in a damaged sedan that came to rest in an adjacent backyard.
A resident discovered the crashed 2012 Chevrolet Impala and the victim's body alongside the ramp from southbound Interstate 805 to westbound State Route 905 at about 11 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
The car apparently veered off the interchange late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning before smashing through a fence behind a home, the CHP reported.
The victim's identity was not immediately available. The CHP said he appeared to be in his 30s.
