Just after midnight on January 12th, 2025, at approximately 12:12 AM, a serious two-vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of West Village Dr. and Willow Glen Dr. Emergency responders arrived quickly on the scene to find both drivers in need of medical attention. Tragically, one driver was unresponsive, prompting deputies from the sheriff’s department to perform CPR in an attempt to save their life. Despite their efforts, the driver was pronounced deceased at 12:41 AM.
The other driver sustained injuries from the crash and was transported to a local hospital for further treatment. Their condition remains unclear at this time.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has taken the lead in investigating the cause of the collision. Authorities are working to determine the sequence of events that led to this tragic incident, and no further details about the drivers or vehicles involved have been released at this stage.
This serves as a heartbreaking reminder of the importance of road safety. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased and with the injured driver as they recover. Please exercise caution when driving, especially during late hours, and stay vigilant to ensure your safety and the safety of others.

People worry about self-driving cars, but I'd be more worried about the human idiots behind the wheel.
Lot's of speeders in that area and ZERO enforcement.
Sad to hear. My wife and I drive Willow Glen and Dehesa Road every day and am not surprised to hear about this accident. Earlier today (around 3PM) my wife was driving and turned from Dehesa onto Willow Glen without issue. About two hours later when she was returning, she couldn't turn right from Willow Glen onto Dehesa. She ended up re-routing up through Crest and back down to Dehesa where you'd turn to go up to Sycuan Casino. She said that they had Dehesa blocked off, so you couldn't drive the 3 mile stretch from that part all the way to the Dehesa/Willow Glen light.
